This is What Passes for a Discussion On Immigration: Lies, Folly & Nonsense<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kirsty Duncan<\/strong>\u00a0is the\u00a0Member of Parliament<\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0Etobicoke North<\/strong>\u00a0(where we collect our mail). In her December householder, she reported on an immigration town hall meeting she’d held in the summer featuring\u00a0Immigration<\/strong>\u00a0Minister John McCallum<\/strong>\u00a0and others. Duncan who is also\u00a0Minister of Science<\/strong>\u00a0and should know about provable reality peddles the most preposterous nonsense in her report.<\/p>\n

“We heard your views on the issues that matters most to you, especially shortening processing times and focusing on family reunification,” she reports.\u00a0 Pictures accompanying the article show scarcely a White face in the audience. She continues: “Our government is committed to bringing a greater number of immigrants and refugees to reunite families, diversify the economy and create sustainable growth.” The former medical geography professor could hardly have packed more folly into a single sentence.<\/p>\n

The almost entirely Third World audience selfishly, of course, stressed what would benefit them. Duncan’s conclusion shows neither she nor the Liberals have a clue as to what would benefit Canada. The government is committed to bringing in more immigrants and refugees, she says. The promise may be true but it is ludicrous.<\/p>\n

With intractable unemployment hovering around 7 per cent, what are these newcomers going to do? Either\u00a0 they find a job and a Canadian remains unemployed (Canada loses) or they don’t find a job and the taxpayers support them on welfare (Canada loses). Family reunification, after acceptance of poorly screened refugees, is almost the worst way to import immigrants. “Family class” applicants do not have to prove any language or skill qualifications (to say nothing of cultural compatibility).<\/p>\n

Duncan suggests more immigration will “diversify the economy”. Unless she means curry houses or roti huts, she’s talking twaddle. Only new resources or new manufacturing techniques will “diversify” the economy.<\/p>\n

Prof. Herb Grubel, Fellow at the Fraser Institute and former Reform Member of Parliament<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, she dreams, immigration will “create sustainable growth.” Economist\u00a0Herb Grubel<\/strong>, a former\u00a0Reform MP<\/strong>\u00a0and a senior fellow at the\u00a0Fraser Institute<\/strong>, recently revealed that Canada’s failed immigration policy costs the taxpayer $30-billion a year,. That is calculated by measuring what the mostly Third World immigrants who came here since the early 1980s contribute to the tax pot each year, minus what they take out. There is a $30-billion deficit. They take out more than they contribute. This NOT sustainable!<\/p>\n
