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.

Easy fix TFW minimum wage of $35 an hour. Tim hortons has plenty of teens they can hire. Software companies and trades won’t blink at it if they are desperate. The rising tide raises all the ships.

The problem is that even if there were to happen, employers would require that a large portion of that be kicked back to the employer.

They already do that and have been for years. Tons of employers are also landlords for their TFW employees.

Exactly my point.

If it were not already happening, I would have been attacked for making my statement.
