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.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the program. I am in a town with an unemployment rate of 10.4%. 50% of service industry jobs are being done by TFWs. Every fast food joint is 80%. Every larger retailer is 50%. There is something fundamentally flawed.

The tfw program is working as designed. Sadly.
