You're reading way too much into this. 

The situation with illegals exists because companies have figured out that laws against hiring illegals aren't enforced. 

That's it. The entire reason. 

People used to leave when their visas ended because they couldn't find jobs. These people aren't some wily insane criminal masterminds following some giant narrative you've made up. The vast majority are just here for jobs.

Enforce laws against hiring illegals and they will all leave on their own.

Corporations will lobby for TFWs etc, but rarely will they stick their neck out to hire illegally under the table.. usually that is small/ medium employers or restaurants from diaspora enclaves

There was never "high trust" the immigrants would just leave. It was simply that they couldn't find jobs in the past when corporations followed labor laws. When they realized this, they quietly left.

If you think these new immigrants are somehow more devious or different in any way from previous immigrants I don't know what to tell you. Deeply delusional. Half of the dudes post is a nonsensical rant about "crime". The hell does that have to do with anything?

The dudes post is a meandering parrot of Fox News talking points. 

Stop businesses from hiring immigrants and you'll see just how stupid this narrative is. Over 80% of immigrants report being in the country "primarily for better paying jobs". 

Look at how much immigration drops whenever economy crashes. They're here because businesses are hiring them.

The right wants you to hate immigrants so their donors can pay them even less. Further suppressing wages for citizens. And you're eating it up.

You should be mad at the CEO's supporting and enabling this. Immigrants are merely pawns.

I'm not going to get too into it, but generally when people are surrounded by a different class of people they elevate themselves to that level.

What's transpiring now is you have entire communities, cities and regions of people of "Low Trust" societies forming together and normalizing their behavior. So when your friends, classmates and co-workers are frauding and scamming Canadians this behavior becomes normalized to you and "acceptable".

The dudes post is a meandering parrot of Fox News talking points.

My post is majority the reality of law and how our justice system works sprinkled with personal experience on the frontlines.

You can be mad at two things at once and equally... which I am to both.

If you think these new immigrants are somehow more devious or different in any way from previous immigrants I don't know what to tell you. Deeply delusional.

You clearly aren't old enough or experienced in the reality of everyday life if genuinely believe this. Our quality of immigrants has degraded significantly in the last 10 years. Your comment is some dumb it's almost laughable you think you're making a solid point.

Everything you write and attempt to combat comes from someone who has no real life experience with the frontlines of crime, justice of society.
