No, your clearly biased and don't understand the nuances of foreigners workers.

many of these so called professional often don't take into account the many paths these people can take and the fact that the supposed growth is actually just false bloat thanks to undercutting local labor,

  • They can send money home, not spending it here.

  • They can choose to retire back home, not retire here and spend the money they made here.

  • As cruel as it may sound, they can bring dependents here, family that may need medicine they weren't getting back home, if they're old or can't work, thats a money sink (admittedly I don't really like bringing this up for obvious reason but its something to note)

  • are they working with union here, are they supporting those institution that moderate corporations.

and these are just the points I can name off the top of my head for legal immigrants, illegals won't even pay into tax cuz often they're working under the table among other possible negatives we can't account for involving potential crime.

we don't say this because we hate brown people or some shit, we say this because if we cant even take care of our own fully fledged citizens, why would we be taking in refuges. 50% of canadian don't even have a doctor to see for god sake.

its hard being nice to everyone, its damn near impossible when your a national leader.

You are one of those devotees of the Cult Of Everything Is Always A Zero Sum Game No Matter What aren't you?
