Entire System: Jason Kenney

Jason Kenney: Just about everything he has touched and he touches a lot as minister for immigration and citizenship is in chaos. The entire system is mired in scandalous delays. Crucially, different elements of it are working at cross-purposes, according to The Star. Yet Kenney has kept bringing 250,000 and more immigrants every year. Many of them cant find jobs, either. Their unemployment rate is twice the national rate. Of those who do have jobs, three in four are not working in their fields not using the education and skills for which they were selected as immigrants and Jason Kenney used to say the immigration system was broken and he was going to fix it. Yet its more broken now than when he took over in 2008. About 1.3 million Canadians dont have jobs. Another million are underemployed or have given up looking for work. The unemployment rate for the young is twice the national average, though they are the most educated in our history. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
