    We did mass immigration well beyond what our economy could sustain in order to invert the Phillips curve after massive government money printing and QE. This caused dire shortages in infrastructure and asset bubbles.

    I think most people agree with sustainable immigration, which if people like yourself stopped screeching ‘racist’ for 5 seconds we may stop destroying the poor and the young at the alter of economic growth and Tim Horton’s parbaked transfat profits.

      So you realize the problem didn’t start with immigration, yet that’s where you put your focus? The outcry should be against policies that promote exploitation of workers, regardless of where they are from. That by itself would stop any excess immigration equitably, without dehumanizing anyone by going back on our word and treating them like garbage.

        If they were treated humanely it would still be a shortage, you need to build homes FIRST and then increase immigration. Or else you hurt those without assets. Nobody is blaming immigrants themselves except your poor attempt at an ad hominen argument.
