    Should be a one-way ticket back to Syria. I immigrated here from America seven years ago, blend in seamlessly with the populace, and I still wouldn’t fuck with a Canadian in fear of being deported (I’m also not an asshole). It’s an absolute privilege to be here and I love this country. It’s crazy to me that anyone else would have the opportunity to come here and then squander it by beating the shit out of a peaceful lesbian couple who are trying to enjoy their night. How incredibly brazen.

      You shouldn’t face special punishments just because you’re an immigrant.

      This anti-immigration dogwhistling needs to stop. It’s unbecoming for people who aren’t members of the alt-right.

        Yes you should. You have an expressed interest in moving to a new place, learn the laws. Fit in, adapt. None of this hyper religious dogmatic bs. I too am an immigrant.

          Not really. If their culture has parts about it you disagree with, you don’t need to adopt those parts.

          Ex: If I move to Russia, I don’t have to become a bigot.

          This will only make sense if you’re mentally an adult. If you’re still a child mentally, then going along with what other people do just to please them is the only thing that will make sense to you.
