Well, your prisons are full, but have you looked at the impact that increasing sentences has had? Are you incarcerating people who would be better off at home and on the job with an ankle bracelet? When was the last time you built a couple of new ones? Is your health care system able to cope with people with mental health issues, or are cutbacks forcing them to be jailed instead of treated?
Your prison have had problems since Thatcher started privatising them, and the net effect is eerily similar to the US's.
School over crowding is the same issue. Sometimes you need to build more. Sometimes an area ages, fewer kids live in a parish, and you need less. Portable classrooms aren't ideal, but they can solve the problem. Funny, though. You'd think the declining birth rate in the post baby boomers era would have been enough.
Heath care needs a cash infusion. Tax the uber wealthy. They're getting away with blue murder.
Every country's has a duty to protect its people from dangerous people. Vet your incomers. We aren't having problems we can't solve, and neither are Americans.

I didn't mean to suggest Canada's perfect, just that we've always had a history of supporting immigrants and refugees, part of how we succeed as a multicultural society
Know It All wrote:1st world countries taking in refugees from 3rd world countries and Islamic countries are potty. It's a recipe for disaster. The vast majority are ungrateful savages, and a drain on resources. They should be homed in similar countries to where they came from. In the UK our prisons are full of immigrants, and the NHS can't cope. Schools are crammed and the infrastructure is collapsing, however we still have stupid liberals marching up the road carrying banners reading "let them in". Absolute bloody madness !!
