Yes, as soon as carney closed the gate, social services have begun alleviating and both my younger sister and brother have found jobs, a lot of study's about imagration improving the economy doesn't take into account non working dependeds, under the counter work, money being sent home and not recycled in the system the job takers working in, dependents overtraining the system among other social issue. A lot of study's say their is growth in buisness but I question if that growth is just their to facilitate the new influx of workers, that buisness doesn't need to exist and doesn't Adress many of the issues Iv states here (the influx of social system strain and recycling of wealth back into the economy their working in.) don't get it twisted tho, I'm not say no imagrents at all in the future, I'm just say don't import half a million every year, it was fine when it was 50k to 100k and should have stayed that way but now we have to close the gate so we can digest the influx we already have.
Oh and yes the bigots are Incorrect, hating minority for simply being a dif skin colour is bone headed and closes you off to the potential to work with and befriend those who can do good for you and your comunity, to throw that away for something so pointless is stupid.
NGl it's big business that's been pushing hardest for the mass importation of immigrants. Immigrant labor can be paid less, has fewer rights, is more prone to suffer wage theft and it allows the copros to offload native born, higher paid employees. Same thing is in the US WRT the agriculture. I have friends that have degrees in horticulture and actively tried to get jobs on farms but wouldn't get hired.
White, native-born Americans don'tcha know. They come with legal protections and income minimums and we can't have that!
Countries really need to put the boot to big businesses that demand mass importation of cheap labor.
In the USA farmers are getting squeezed by the large conglomerates. Sure, they need hands. They can't afford the expense. Being unable to find a job is not due to immigrants, but the state (regulation) and capital (silo middle actors) in cohoots. They'll fix the price farmers can sell at and restrict growth to control prices. It's like the state thinks command economies are communist unless they do it.
