Canada needs to start enforcing on a mass scale. They’re complaining how much it cost to deport illegals but it’s way cheaper than all the social and welfare services they get if they remain here
Canada needs to start enforcing on a mass scale. They’re complaining how much it cost to deport illegals but it’s way cheaper than all the social and welfare services they get if they remain here

Good. Canada does not have enough jobs for its own. All those people unemployed & on social assistance can now take those jobs given to foreigners - especially with minimum wage being so high now. Employers need to employ people within, not outside the country!!!! All these jobs held by foreigners are draining Canada of $$$ because they are not putting their earnings back into the economy, they are sending it back home. Whereas, Canadians invest right back into our own economy. We buy & invest in Canada.
Makes economic arguments about job competition and claims that foreign workers drain Canada's economy by sending earnings abroad without evidence.

That lady is 10000% correct about the auto insurance. Same bullshit is happening in California. Newsom and our dumb ass government lets illegals register cars without a drivers license and without insurance and it’s causing my insurance to double year after fucking year on a 1996 Toyota with 200k miles. Same shit for CDL drivers. You have illegals with no license operating a train on wheels at 80mph on the freeway.
Comment focuses on economic impacts of immigration policy, specifically rising insurance costs attributed to undocumented immigrants.
