And keeping businesses dependent on sub-livable wage labor is problematic.

Exactly. We bring in immigrants because our economy is addicted to paying poverty wages. People will post the studies showing that immigration doesn't suppress the wages of good paying jobs as though that's a winning argument, but what they're ignoring is that that's because the economy has a built-in assumption that immigrants are all paid starvation wages.

That's an argument to end the exploitative TFW program and increase unionization rates. Not against immigration generally.

I agree. But that's not the approach the Liberal party is taking, and their approach deserves criticism.

Agreed on this absolute agreement. 😁
