Deporting all registered Democrats to Canada

Let's pretend that a few years from now, the GOP retakes all 3 branches of the US government and promptly deports all registered members of the Democratic Party to Canada. Here are some questions to ponder:

1) What would happen to US and Canadian crime rates?

2) What would happen to entitlement systems like Medicare in the US and Canada?

3) What would happen to the US and Canadian budget deficits?

4) What would happen to overall education (i.e., including subjects other than science) in the two countries?

5) What would happen to US and Canadian unemployment rates?

 

Since the red states recieve the most welfare and the Republicans are less educated, a larger % of America would turn into Mississippi.

 

I don't think so, since that is the state with the most black people, and 95% of them would be leaving to Canada.

 

It would be a bunch of snake handlin' welfare people studyin' creationism in biology class

 

Down in the US, up significantly in Canada. We would be losing 95% of our black population and ~70% of our Hispanic population. Of course crime is going to go down.

Hard to say. A lot of the wealthy whites in the New England area will be gone, so they won't be paying into the tax system, but many other needy black and Hispanic takers will also be gone.

It would get way worse in the US if spending remained the same. Obviously a lot of spending would have to be cut to account for the loss in population size.

It would go down, for the same reasons our education system has gone down. They would have to continually lower standards to pass certain minority groups.

Down in the US, up in Canada. A lot of needy and dependent people would be leaving the US to go to Canada.

 

Simply not possible.

Canada is a sovereign country and determines its own immigration policy.

Just as the US says 'no" to anyone who even knows what is marijuana, Canada would say no to anyone who has ever seen a gun, in any way even makes notice of race or skin color, does not say "eh?' as a form of affirmation often and appropriately, or wears dark socks with sandals.

Exceptions will only be made for very talented hockey players.

 

Oh....

and for the record? Black people, at least African Americans, don't seem to like it here much.

They come but don't seem to stay long. A sociologist friend who theorizes it's because in Canada, with such a high population of Asians and East Indians, African Americans can never be the largest minority group or an influence on national policy like they are in the US.

 

Most of the welfare people in Mississippi are white Republicans.

 

Is that true? Doesnt seem like it from the Cons on this forum, they think welfare is liberal and black.

 

Not to throw logic into the argument here to rebut such a great plan and dream, but wouldn't folks just change what party they are registered with?

 

Importing that many Americans of any political stripe would result in considerably more crime.

It would reduce America's crime simply due to having fewer people.

Medicare is supported by both parties, as is SS. You might see more reforms to each, but they aren't going away. Welfare wouldn't likely go away either.

Canada would run higher deficits just having more people to care for.

The US wouldn't necessarily see lower deficits, however, since Republicans still support heavy spending in agricultural subsidies and the military.

Why other than science?

I guess you're already admitting that science would suffer.

Granted, every other subject would likely fare badly in poorer areas due to less funding or due to leaving the poor disenfranchised via privatization of education.

Vouchers can work over time, but plenty of areas would take a lot of time to attract suitable providers of education.

Unemployment would rise in Canada, but it wouldn't necessarily lower in America. In fact, it might stay the same, since a lot of jobs are being filled by migrant labor and immigrants in general (legal and illegal).

 

Taking this one step further, in terms of a better business/government model, sort of like 'mergers & acquisitions' in order to grow and be more competitive, I kind of like the idea of the USA...and Canada...and Mexico...merging into one powerhouse nation. This creates great synergy in some areas, consolidation in others, giving us a 1+1+1 = something >3 scenario...what do you think?

 

I think that you put the cart before the horse.
The gop would need to deport the dems before they could hope to win the election.

 

They also thought that Romney would win in a landslide.

 

You don't even have to register with a party to run for office in WA.

 

awww Jesus. I can see how any sensible response will illicit claims of racism, but here it goes.

1) Canadian crime rates would go up, US crime rates would go down. As discussed in a recent thread, more than 3mil out of the 7mil adults in the correctional system are black, and the vast majority of the black population votes Democrat.
2) Entitlement systems like medicare in the US would probably cover less and receive less funding.
3) Canadian budget deficits would soar, US budget deficits would decrease, although in this purely hypothetical situation you have to think of what the manpower loss would mean. The US would still have more people, but Canada would suddenly become more populous than Mexico and, while immediately overcrowded, it would have most of those Northeastern elites that own a lot of capital and are (pretty much) the most highly educated in the world.
4) All education would probably become subsidized in Canada. A voucher system would be put in place in the US, and our education systems would do better because of it. At the college level you would likely see student loan interest rates go back up to the normal 6.8%, and less federal funding for college. Federal funding would probably become more targeted, and we would actually probably see new programs designed to assist students needed high-need degrees, like physics, engineering, etc.
5) Well, Canadian unemployment rates would skyrocket and US unemployment would practically not exist, but this is mostly because the existing infrastructure in Canada is designed to employ it's roughly 30million, not that +100million Americans, and ours is designed to employ over 300million but we would have far less than that after the expulsion of Democrats. Even after an influx of labor, we would likely maintain low unemployment rates because the GOP is much more likely to let the market find it's equilibrium.

 

Back in the late sixties when I got drafted into the Army to spend the following year in combat over in the Nam, the rest of the liberals, losers and anti war radicals of the time were either registering at the local community college to use as a draft deferment or they absconded to Canada to escape the draft.

So seeing how Canada seems to be a utopian heaven for American leftists anyway, I would suggest we deport them to Mexico where they could hook up with their illegal imigration minded, gun running, non-working, anti-American La Raza counterparts where they could form a bond to reunite most of Southwestern United States back into the hands of its rightly owner....el Mexico. Too bad Ted Kennedy isn't alive, for he's the perfect leader to rally his leftists troops around our friendly mexican neighbors to the southwest. Might have to wait another year however, since Cinco de Mayo has already come and gone this year.

 

There are some democrats that are real Americans. However deporting liberals to Canada is a great idea. Canada seems to love socialist liberals.

 

If Democrats and Republicans were moved to two separate countries it would take fifty more years for the Republican one to collapse. That's the only compliment I can give it.

 

You mean like Cheney and Romney?

 

This alone proves how much smarter the leftists/liberals are... They didn't go to fight some dumb asss worthless war, that didn't benefit them.

 

I'd love to go, if the move included being given a similar job there and moving expenses, help selling my home/buying a new one, I'd love to start a new life in a SUPERIOR nation that has proper priorities.

 

Someone has an axe to grind against Canada.

 

I think religious warfare would break out between Baptists and Methodists.

 

And that's not just limited to these forums, that's the national stereotype. Those who oppose those programs, and those who are just racist in general, have done a pretty good job convincing everyone that it's only minorities and dirty criminals and lazy people on assistance programs. I find that rather funny, because I'm willing to bet real money that it would be impossible(unless you simply didn't know people, period) to find a person who is not themselves and/or does not at least know someone who has or is receiving assistance of some kind that are made possible by taxes. Maybe..MAYBE...if you were rich, but the rich get their own forms of welfare too.

Nope, it's just a stupid national stereotype propagated by those who feel they've been victimized by having to forcefully come to the realization that they are in fact, not the only people in the world who matter. Painful for some, maddening for others, sad for all.
