Immigration: Immigration Policy

immigration policy: Crime has been steadily going down but Ottawa keeps passing legislation after legislation getting tough on criminals and spending billions it can ill-afford like the Republicans emptying the treasury to build jails they ultimately could not afford to maintain and had to free some of the inmates, according to The Star. Our immigration policy used to be a citizenship policy 85 per cent of newcomers opted for citizenship, the highest rate of such integration among immigrant-receiving nations. But the Conservatives turned immigration into a supply chain of cheap and pliant labour for business. Thus the exponential rise in temporary foreign workers and a record level of immigration, at about 250,000 a year, despite persistent high unemployment among Canadians and There are two ways to govern in a democracy after winning an election: serve your own partisan constituency or cater to the common good. After winning his majority in 2011, Stephen Harper made an uncharacteristic promise he would serve all Canadians. But a leopard cant change its spots. He continues to play by the Republican playbook pandering to his core supporters through a handful of symbolic issues that serve as a branding exercise. For example, his Conservative party never tires of demonizing criminals and immigrants while lionizing the armed forces. Canada, without being pacifist, was never a warring nation but Harper was bent on making it so and spent billions on expensive military toys that we could not afford or do not need. Thats like the Republicans who would not stop feeding the Pentagon juggernaut even while the United States was going broke. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
