SubscribeSo support for immigration rose dramatically after the Brexit vote and after the near-uniform message to that effect in all major opinion- forming organs. And now that support is ebbing, along with trust in most institutions by those of us easily dismissed as Deplorables.
Has any new government ever entered office with such limited genuine public support.
Open borders have destroyed faith and trust in the entire immigration system. It’s sad really. I live in a small town in Alberta and we’ve had an influx of Filipino and Indian immigrants. They are hard working, good people who have benefitted the community. But we are thousands of miles from Toronto, where the vast majority immigrants initially land. Only people committed to working would ever bother to come here.
At least you get good hardworking people. Here in Airstrip One, we get rapey savages from the middle east and Africa.
That’s the problem with open borders. Canada has open borders too, but it’s very hard to get here, and even harder to get from Toronto to rural Alberta.
What a dreadfully R post. (Everyone will know what the R means).
Go to a Care Home or a Hospital, or a farm perhaps, or even our building sites, and see the immigrants working their backside off for you.
There will be some wrong uns in amongst those coming here, but it is the definition of R to lump everyone together.
We have an immigration problem and net migration is too high. However some show their true R colours that also lies behind.
Housing price increases, destruction of schools by a tidal wave of uneducated non-English speakers, destruction of hte low-wage sector, huge crime increases esp rape due to the young male cohort, on and on and on. Illegals scum are destroying the US and Canada and UK and Germany and Greece and Sweden and Poland and Lithuania and Italy and on and on.
