If we actually want solutions, we should be talking about things like real-time tracking for overstays, linking federal/provincial systems, funding enforcement properly, and setting penalties that are predictable and enforced. Bring in experts not random paper pushers for “gotcha” moments. Sessions like this aren’t about fixing the system, they’re about stoking outrage. And more often than not, it ends up targeting vulnerable groups instead of creating policy that actually works.
Detailed critique of government immigration enforcement systems and policy implementation, arguing for evidence-based solutions over performative outrage.

That is barely a reduction in the permanent resident quota at all. It’s still way too many to absorb. It should be at most a third of that.

If an individual has been found to have a bogus claim, then deport them. If Visas have expired then then they should not be allowed to claim asylum and they should be deported. Non citizens who have been criminally charged should be deported. The process is in place, it just needs to be adhered to.
Proposes specific policy solutions for handling fraudulent claims, expired visas, and criminal non-citizens, critiquing enforcement rather than policy existence.

The birth rate slowed because of a corrupt Liberal government who priced everyone out of their homes. Canadians are not bringing new babies into a world when they are broke and taxed to death. We can't justify adding another mouth to feed when we can't afford to feed the mouths that are here now. And they are not importing to sustain the population....they are importing votes to stay in power. The Liberal mantra...."Fuck Canadians!!! Do what we need to do to stay in power". Immigrant to votes ratio is 1:1.
Critiques government policy on housing and immigration while making unverified claims about immigration being used for electoral advantage.

You've got it wrong, super wealthy Western countries like Canada, the USA, UK, Scandinavian Nordic countries, Europe, and even Australia don't 'need' immigrants from 3rd/4th world countries. Super wealthy Western countries first priority is to its own native population and country first by investing in them. The new 180 stance on immigration is proof that these super wealthy Western countries are moving forward with stricter immigration policies, a push for increased mass deportation, eliminating Visa/Green Card Holders for certain groups, going after scam related to immigration, rescinding citizenship and deporting non-native populations a lot easier. It's not just Canadians who are sick and tired of all these new people(legal and illegal) but The West in general🇺🇸
Argues that wealthy Western nations should prioritize native populations and advocates for stricter immigration policies and deportations.

Because the liberals allow it. Corporations love the influx of cheap disposable labor. Best part is that so many people have this idea that voting liberal is voting for The Good Guys.

Criticizes liberal government policy on immigration while framing it as economically motivated by corporate interests in cheap labor.
