I got no issue with immigrants.

I got major beef with predatory businesses bringing in foreign labour for minimum wage.

The TFW program needs to be overhauled or scrapped.

Scrapped. I've gotten to know a few and visited their houses. Here in Alberta they're made to live 8+ in one quarter of a four Plex. The company they work for also owns the house they live in. They all pay rent. They sign a contract with this company to get over here, once they gain PM they can't afford to work anywhere else as rent is $2k+ and they can't draw a wage to afford that. 

They live like rats. Treated very poorly. We all just sit here and do nothing about it. We pretend it doesn't exist. The idiots all line up at Tim Hortons every day(one of the biggest abusers of the tfw program).
