Kenny is making noises about the foreign workers in the fast food industry. They are a "soft" target for him. It allows him big noise in the newspapers but no risk politically. He is misleading the public by pushing the headline "
Ottawa ponders tougher measures concerning temporary foreign workers
Which, is not the truth. He is only after the one industry.
The
Conservatives fouled the nest; now a weak attempt at cleaning it out. Alberta
was busted on the net for having illegal immigrants as a majority of workers in
the oil patch.
Harper/Kenny
jumped in with new immigration laws. Any one with a job in Alberta could apply
for and get a citizenship immediately with no background checks; no vetting;
nothing! Alberta set up offices for immigration lawyers to pump the people
thought the gate!
Meanwhile
McMurray was troubled with what was named the Russian Mob in drug trafficking
and the police couldn't get on top of it. Now, these same people hold Canadian
citizenships and because there is no vetting there is no basis to deport them!
What a mess!
The
rules couldn't be made for Alberta only so they applied across Canada.
They
went a mile further; any prospective employer could vouch for an immigrant to
get them into the country and receive a citizenship when they arrived. Again;
no vetting. To enhance the citizenship service applications were made available
at airports so immigrants going to perspective job interviews could take a copy
with them so the "new" employer could sign them into Canada.
No
matter the amount of tinkering the Conservatives do the system will now not
respond! They broke it. Watch the crime statistics climb!
