“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

High Skills, High Stakes – Canada ramps up its efforts to draw high-skilled immigrants away from the U.S.

In a striking move, Canada has unveiled a new pathway for high-skilled immigrants in the United States to migrate north. The policy risks undermining America’s economy and geostrategic position and should serve as a wake-up call to Washington. Reforming the nation’s high-skilled immigration system is a pressing need.

On net, legal immigrants with college degrees create jobs. Immigrants founded most U.S. billion-dollar startups. And the most successful immigrants, like Elon Musk, came to the U.S. as international students and then transitioned to an H-1B visa, designed for specialty occupations.

I call Bullshit, in the US H1-B Visas are a known scam benefitting the corporate class by depressing wages …

THE H-1B VISA PROGRAM HARMS AMERICAN WORKERS AND SHOULD BE REPEALED

“… According to data compiled in 2020, some 60 percent of H-1B workers were paid at the two lowest prevailing wage levels for these top H-1B employers, meaning that three out of five foreign visa workers were being paid wages far below the local median wage for similar occupations. Amazon and Microsoft are particularly egregious in their practices, with over 75 percent of their H-1B workers in 2019 paid at the two lowest prevailing wage rates.

There is substantial data to suggest that the H-1B visa program continues to be one of the most abusive programs condoned by the federal government. The design and implementation of this program necessitate inflicting real harm on middle-class and middle-class-aspiring Americans, their families, and their communities, as well as many of the foreign recipients of the visa.”

Sabrina Maddeaux: Housing and health crises eroding Canada’s pro-immigration consensus

For about as long as most politicians and voters alive today remember, Canada has been a solidly pro-immigration nation. Until now, public opinion was effectively unanimous, at least outside of Quebec, that more newcomers represent an absolute good.

This allowed us the luxury of being rather superficial about immigration policy. It was far from a matter that decided elections — in fact, it’s such a historic nonstarter, pollsters rarely bothered to include it when asking Canadians about what issues mattered to them.

President Joe Biden’s Border ‘Compassion’ Got Us Funerals And Fentanyl

Border Patrol agents in Texas recovered the bodies of four migrants, including a baby, who drowned attempting to illegally cross the Rio Grande last weekend — but could not verify their identities because none of the river’s victims carried documentation.

“The identities of the deceased remain unknown since none possessed identifying documents,” a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman confirmed on Twitter on Monday.

Completely avoidable “crisis” results in Chowtown being overrun by Trudeau “refugees”

‘A huge shame’: Asylum seekers sleeping on the streets of Toronto as city, feds argue over who should foot the bill

Advocates say it’s “a huge shame” that asylum seekers are being stranded on the streets of Toronto as the city and federal government argue over who should foot the bill to shelter them, and are calling on all levels of government to do more to address the issue.

In recent days, a few dozen people have been seen sleeping in an encampment on the sidewalk outside a referral centre for housing assistance and emergency shelter in downtown Toronto.

We all know who foots the bill – tax payers.

Chow and Trudeau are as careless of lives as they are of your money.

‘Another 9/11:’ Law Enforcement Warns of Terrorists Coming into America Among Illegal Aliens

Former law enforcement officials have been issuing warnings about a renewed threat of terrorism in the United States as the Biden Administration has failed to address the rise in terror suspects sneaking into the country via the southern border.

As reported by Just The News, a recent report by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG), an incident occurred last year in which a terrorist was released into the United States by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shortly after his apprehension. The terrorist was then allowed to roam freely throughout the country for about two weeks before he was arrested again by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Randall Denley: Ontario can’t handle Trudeau’s immigration influx

The news that Ontario’s population grew by just over 500,000 in the last 12 months is a bit alarming, given that the number is equal to Canada’s entire annual immigration target. Ontario’s total is about double its typical population growth.

Does a province desperately short of housing and health-care services really need another 500,000 people? It’s time politicians took a serious look at that question.

Poilievre stands firmly with the UNIPARTY’s destructive mass immigration policy and is likely to fuck over Canadians as thoroughly as any Liberal or Commie

John Ivison: As immigration doubts grow, Poilievre keeps the faith

In mid-May, Bloc Québecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet put his Conservative counterpart, Pierre Poilievre, in a ticklish spot.

The Bloc introduced a motion denouncing the goal of an organization called the Century Initiative — co-founded by former ambassador to China Dominic Barton — to increase Canada’s population to 100 million by 2100. It is a goal consistent with the federal government’s immigration intake targets, the motion said; a goal that would diminish the French language and Quebec’s political weight, as well as adversely impact housing and health-care availability.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Duplicitous policymakers talk big housing game, fail to get shovels in ground

These days, it’s difficult to find a politician who doesn’t claim to support building more housing. To come out against housing affordability would be politically toxic, so instead, many have decided to say one thing publicly, do the complete opposite in practice and hope no one uses actual data to expose their duplicity.

How about simply turning off the mass immigration tap?

Canada’s housing policy is failing citizens and newcomers alike

Canada recently reached a milestone of 40 million people after growing by more than one million people in one year for the first time in 2022. But while we’re adding people at record levels, the same can’t be said about homes.

According to recent research, while the number of people Canada-wide has accelerated in recent years, the number of housing units completed has stagnated and even fallen to levels well below previous peaks. Specifically, from 1971 to 1980, Canada’s population grew by 283,737 people annually on average while an annual average of 226,524 housing units were completed.

“Generals always fight the last war” – Canada does not need mass immigration.

Roxham Road benefit shopper makes good in Canada after fleeing the Hellscape of Donald Trump’s America!

Refugee who first fled Afghanistan then Trump’s America graduates U of T with goal to help others

… However, his stay in the U.S. didn’t last long. He arrived in the country in 2018, during the Donald Trump administration, and Malikyar said it “wasn’t a good idea for me to stay” because of the then-president’s anti-immigration agenda.

During his month-long stay in the U.S., Malikyar heard his hometown was under attack by the Taliban, so he reckoned his next best option would be to cross into Canada through Roxham Road and claim asylum. And so he did.

What horseshit.

Canada welcomes largest number of immigrants in first quarter since at least 1972

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country welcomed more than 145,000 immigrants during the first three months of the year.

That’s the highest number for a single quarter on record, since comparable data became available in 1972.

No one in the PC Party has spoken out about this assault on Canada.

As Canada’s Population Hits 40 Million, Economists Warn of Strain on Housing Market, Health System

As Canada’s population reaches the milestone of 40 million people, economists and housing experts are warning that accelerating immigration numbers could strain the country’s housing market and health-care system.

“My first reaction is that it’s great for the people coming to the country, but maybe it’s not so great for the people in the country,” Frank Clayton, a senior research fellow at the Centre for Urban Research and Land Development at Toronto Metropolitan University, said in an interview.
