The battlelines on immigration have hardened predictably. Left-leaning voters proudly display “refugees welcome” yard signs, while Donald Trump supporters cheer his pledge to implement “largest deportation operation in the history of our country”. Amid such partisan attitudes, it has become heretical to suggest that the Democrats need to be tougher on immigration. But they must. In the long run, progressives have no choice but to acknowledge that huge infusions of migrants stress welfare...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is trying to expedite a sanctuary city ordinance, pushing back against President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.

It could also mean potential legal battles as the Trump administration prepares to use ICE and the military to carry out the campaign promise of mass deportations.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lamented the presence of “bad actors” after Canada’s immigration system reformed during the COVID-19 pandemic in a YouTube video. Trudeau said some exploited the new system, which accepted a large number of immigrants to accommodate the nation’s labor shortage. Canada has now restricted immigration to combat the population boom. “In the last two years, our population has grown really fast, like a baby boom,” he said. “…...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to restrict inflows of newcomers will narrow the country’s gap between housing supply and demand, according to a budget watchdog. If Trudeau is successful in curbing immigration over the next three years, that would reduce the housing gap in 2030 by 534,000 units, or 45%, said the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, which provides independent analysis to help lawmakers scrutinize the government’s activities.

Over the next two years, the permanent residency stream is being reduced by about 20 per cent to 365,000 in 2027.

And I think if...
