Immigrants are members of society too !!

It's difficult for policy makers to organize social services for immigrants. Most nations historically have had dynamic populations, so therefore immigrants shouldn't be excluded from social systems. However, I understand the other side that, especially in large nations, such as United States, it is difficult to maintain organizational stability (costs, access, etc.) if there isn't proper identification and knowledge of population size. That's not the immigrant's fault though, that's the government's fault for not organizing social services more efficiently. I believe immigrants should never be excluded from social services, they are humans in society too.

However, in Canada, one problem is that because of the United States' faulty health care system, many Americans travel to Canada to seek medical services taking advantage of the free health care. This actually in turn could be weighing down Canadian's system therefore marginalizing immigrants who actually live in Canada, but also don't have proper identification.

I don't know to what extent this is an actual problem, but it's just a thought. I was thinking of the part in "Sicko" when the American woman travels to Canada and gets rejected a couple times by clinics because she didn't have proper identification which made me think of true immigrants who had moved to Canada. They shouldn't be rejected health care!
