“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

Ottawa has negotiated a border deal with the United States that would allow Canada to turn back migrants coming from the U.S. who are looking to make asylum claims at unofficial points of entry such as Roxham Road.

The deal would apply the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) across the entire Canada-United States border. It would close a loophole which allowed migrants arriving in Canada from the United States between official ports of entry to make asylum claims. Canadian authorities patrolling the border are now able to turn asylum seekers back to the United States.

I don’t believe them.

… The increase was in part fuelled by government efforts to recruit migrants to the country to ease labour shortages, Statistics Canada said.

The country also depends on migration to support an ageing population.

But Statistics Canada said the surge in the number of permanent and temporary immigrants could “also represent additional challenges for some regions of the country related to housing, infrastructure and transportation, and service delivery to the population”.

The last sentence is true, everything else is just a lie to cover for the greed of the corporate class.

A five-mile stretch of dirt road linking New York state to the Canadian province of Quebec is expected to be a focal point of Joe Biden’s first official visit to Canada later this week, as Justin Trudeau seeks to slow a surge in asylum claims amid criticism that his government is failing refugees.

Last year nearly 40,000 people entered Canada at Roxham Road, an informal crossing in the forests of upstate New York that has become a political flashpoint in recent years.

A year after hearing “welcome home” for the first time at the Canadian border, Shahzad Gidwani found himself questioning whether he and his wife made the right decision to start a new life here.

The timing wasn’t ideal, arriving in Toronto from India with their son just as the pandemic began sweeping the globe. Yet the 53-year-old held high hopes for his family’s future. He was bringing with him decades of international work experience in sales and marketing, and a master’s degree in business from the U.S.

You mean inflation from the soaring prices of the housing shortage they’re helping create?

Why are they here? I don’t think Canada has a massive shortage of “sales and marketing” people with or without dime a dozen “masters degrees” either.

Ontario is set to double the number of economic immigrants it welcomes to the province under an agreement with the federal government to boost the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.

The federal and provincial immigration ministers are announcing today that the province will have more than 18,000 spots under the program in 2025.

Not getting enough Roxham Road coders?

Politicians haven’t just lost control of the Channel: the huge scale of legal immigration is being allowed to continue with little scrutiny

There was something horribly ironic about Gary Lineker claiming to “speak up for those poor souls who have no voice” on the question of immigration, after effectively trying to silence dissenters with comparisons to 1930s Germany. He was right in one sense – there is a group of people who don’t have a voice on this issue – but they certainly aren’t the ones Gary’s advocating for.

No, it’s the silent majority with legitimate concerns about mass, uncontrolled migration who have been cut out of the debate by elites who consider it crass to want to manage Britain’s borders. They are the ones hounded and patronised into submission by supposedly “tolerant” liberals who use their sense of moral superiority to justify political browbeating. And this tactic, which has been hugely successful in shutting down the national debate, helps to explain why the Conservative Party has failed to get a grip on post-Brexit immigration.
