my dad came from a shithole country (trinidad)

he was not a doctor or an engineer, he delivered pizzas to start, and our family received benefits for a long time.

he had 5 kids

1 is an engineer, 2 are successful entrepreneurs, 1 is a poker player and 1 is a stay at home mom.

Between all the kids we've paid back the benefits in taxes by at least 50x. In fact for 2025, myself alone will be paying more in tax than our entire family received since my dad got here.

just some food for thought considering how demonized immigrants are right now, especially the browns. I think Canada made a good choice letting him in, but who knows

In your opinion if we add up all welfare recipients and their offspring is the sum still positive? And also the immigrants now are the same as when your dad emigrated? I'm curious to know Ihaver no opinion formed and you made a good point.

if I had to guess, based on nothing but personal experience, is that offspring of canadian born welfare recipients do worse than offspring of 1st generation immigrants.
