I wish to thank everyone for their help with my last post and clearing things up. I did indeed get this as an email and I was unsure what to think. Looks like some one I know may be xenophobic ... great.
No worries. My mother came to Canada as a refugee, but by the time we arrived (my father, two brothers, and I), she had found work, an apartment and was off welfare. We are now Canadian citizens and we are proud to be Canadian, and I know for a fact everyone who helped us get settled did it because they care. If this didn't exist, who knows if we would have the chance to lead a better life, or it would have been tougher.
Glad to know you realized the context that letter was written. It was defenitely written to create conflict based on figures and not facts.
