Marriages of convenience was rampant before Harper destroying young Canadians' lives. Fake refugees would swoon naive girls into marriage saddling them with parental and financial responsibilities that they couldn't handle all with the blessing of the Liberal government. America gave these cases ten years to see if they would leave where as Canada gave just a few months. Just another example of Liberals putting the interests of non citizens above citizens.
Criticizes past Liberal immigration policy on marriage fraud, framing it as prioritizing non-citizens over citizens with alarmist tone.

I was called a racist every time I said those coming from the U.S. are not real refugees since the U.S. IS a safe country. JT sent out the tweet just so he could look better than Trump. He did not care about Canadians, just about how HE looked to the world. Unbelievable.
Criticism of government refugee policy as performative and self-serving rather than genuinely humanitarian.

We let in too many unvetted criminals, because we tried to be too nice.
Bad people take advantage of that....
Time to restrict unvetted refugees and immigrants, and time to throw out every criminal without a citizenship. Those, we'll jail ourselves...
PS: We DO need immigrants because of our low birthrate (it's negative), and our aging population...
BUT, we need to check CHARACTER first. Not colour, just CHARACTER!!!
Argues for stricter vetting and deportation of criminals while acknowledging Canada's demographic need for immigration, emphasizing character over ethnicity.

Immigration levels should be zero until we deport all the illegals in the country and so-called a silent claimers and students who is visas have expired and then we should go back to bringing an immigrants according to their value to our society not the scum of the earth that we're taking in now

Sovereignty is the concept and practice that got us to where we are as a species belonging to countries. Somehow our political leadership decided that sovereignty was no longer a thing and Trudeau simply said "C'mon over..."
Our path forward is to purge our nation of illegal immigrants, PRs that aren't hitting the metrics, students with expired visas and of course criminals who are not Canadians. Once we've cleaned house we need to treat our country like the prize that it can be and only invite in those who fit in with our psyche and economic needs.
Just because someone shows up at our border doesn't mean that they belong in Canada.
Frames immigration through sovereignty and national identity, proposing deportations and selective admission based on cultural/economic fit while critiquing government leadership.

What about students who used to come with real studying intentions? What about real good schools, with solid programs?

Critiques Canada's international student policy and its negative effects on domestic education funding and reputation.

Everything the Liberals touched over the last 10 years is now broken. Carney is a Century 100 advocate so I can’t see him fixing anything.

Decades ago I remember the argument "you're not allowing the parents of immigrants to come to Canada" and the response of "that will destroy the CPP"' being discussed in the news and Parliament for quite some time.
Seems we've gone from one small ditch on one side straight over the cliff's edge on the other now.
