America’s got 11 million plus illegal aliens we can send to our Canadian cousins. However, you’ll have to give them all sorts of welfare perks and you cannot expect them to obey Canadian laws.

Let’s sell them our 20 million illegal aliens (my best estimate). $10 apiece.

Cut off the social welfare given to healthy, lazy citizens, and they will work or starve. We need more “immigrants” like a bicycle needs a flat tire.

Just like American companies, they want the age and nationality labor arbitrage - younger or foreign knowledge workers who are willing to work harder and longer hours for less money than the native Canadian talent pool. Especially if the work needed is outside the organization’s core competency - then there is no desire whatsoever to pay domestic market rates.

I wonder if any of the tens of millions of unemployed or underemployed Americans would be considered for those “temporary foreign worker” positions. I’d guess not, for the same reasons they can’t get jobs here — the “temporary” status probably translates into a half-off sale on wages paid, regulations followed, etc.

I am an electrician working in lloydminster right now, if we didn’t have these foreigners, we would have no restaurants or coffee places open and no oh to work in the hotels. The place would get more miserable than it already is heh.

They have a different situation than ours. They have discovered tons of very valuable resources in areas with very small populations. They actually DO need to import labor in order to exploit it. In our case, I’m not so sure. We have over ten times their population.

You don’t need *any* immigration as long as there is a single citizen actually looking for a job.

I think if they changed the EI rules that allow Maritimers to work less and collect benefits longer, they’d have no problem filling those jobs with Canadians. When my dad came to Toronto from Nova Scotia, every family in the Atlantic provinces had members move west for work.
