The topic of this thread was about Immigration numbers, but the postings are mainly "my choice of country is better than yours because.....".
randy_g was nearest in his assessment which boils down to weighing the pros and cons of any particular choice. Some seem happier to trade say health insurance for extra income, where others look to lower taxation. Most of the people are content to an extent with their choices - I'm sure the pop-psychologists could comment on the depth of feeling that can be generated in these discussions
The postings here really seem to revolve around economic "refugees' wanting to go where the cash rewards are greatest.... No-one has mentioned the other large group of people who come for reasons of safety. Whatever your views on the economic aspects of your choices, it might be worth checking Nr Fairy's thread "Food for Thought" in JB to see why some people may want to leave their current homes.
I haven't seen the details of C-15 so I don't have a handle on what changes will result if/when it passes.
