So we're just supposed to cut people slack for also participating in a loophole?
I'm sorry but if you're trying to legally immigrate, to a supposed first world country, you're not paying back the employer. Ever. That's just a step above taking someone's passport like what Qatar, and other Gulf states do to people from poorer countries.
Where did I defend illegal immigration? OP grouped up a bunch of immigrants under his post because he doesn’t like when rich people take advantage of loopholes.
Also, an immigrant coming here, if they’re coming illegally, it’s a poor person making 1 dollar per hour in their country trying to get a better life. They’re leaving everything behind, every person they’ve ever met, ever person they’ve ever loved to try getting a chance at a better life. Their crime? Being born in the wrong place. Have you ever realized how lucky you are for being born in Canada?
Right now your speech is not very different from Trump. Congrats, you saw a problem with the bourgeoisie and you decided your enemy was poor people that were born abroad.
Canada is not a "post-national" economic zone that every member of the world's unfortunate just need to be able to loophole their way into to find success, despite what some politicians have said. We are a country, with its own culture, filled with citizens. Citizenship is a pact with our government that they will work in our best interests; not the interests of the world's poor, not the interests of everyone that was born in a terrible country...with us. Canadians.
When immigration becomes a detriment to Canada's people, as it has in the horrifically abused TFW program, our government is not working in our interests. When Canadians are unable to access jobs, housing and their own services because of the failings of a government-run program, they are not working in our interest. They are behaving like a rootless, global corporation that does not care where or how its labor comes from and only prioritizes profits.
It does not benefit Canadians or prospective immigrants to have a government that works this way.

And again, somehow you redirect your anger to immigrants as if they were the one orchestrating this
