Carney wants too much immigration while Poilievre wants mass deportations. Both positions are extreme. Extremism is unstable.
When we saw the ICE crackdown on illegal immigrants in the US I said that was extreme. Hunting down illegals working on farms and in construction is just going to increase human trafficking, raise the price of fruit and the cost of construction.
Now when we see how a Canadian woman from Vancouver was kidnapped by ICE when she applied for a visa at the border we can all see how crazy and extreme this has become.
She was applying for a work visa at the border. All they had to do was say no and send her on her way. Even if they said no to the work visa she still has a right to travel as a tourist. Instead they kidnapped her and shuffled her between completely inappropriate detention centres. ICE detention centres.
During Covid there were many conspiracy theories talking about how the government was building secret prisons. We thought they were crazy. So let's look at how much money it costs to build all these prisons and how much manpower it costs to hunt down illegals working to provide for their families.
It starts off these prisons are for illegal immigrants. Then they start putting Canadians and Americans in them as well. This is why I said I was against the formation of ICE in Canada. Forming a government gestapo to hunt people down is very easily abused. First they hunt down illegal migrants, then they hunt down your legally obtained firearms.
Then they do whatever they want. None of us thought this was possible in North America but we are witnessing it. The Constitution hangs by a thread just as prophesied. Donald Trump has become an enemy of the Constitution.
This is why I am concerned about Pierre Poilievre's position on immigration. We don't need to go from one extreme to the other. Fascism and Communism are both bad. I am completely opposed to hunting down illegal migrants in Canada. If an illegal migrants has committed a serious crime, then deport them but hunting down illegals who are working, that's just too invasive.
Conservatives support small government not big in your face gestapo hunting people down. It's a waste of money and a violation of the freedom from unnecessary searches and seizures the Charter of Rights protects.
Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris we saw one extreme. Mass illegal migration without criminal record checks demanding to be fed and housed. Then we go to the completely other extreme and become Fascists. Both are unacceptable.
Maxime Bernier is even worse. He claims Pierre Poilievre isn't a Conservative he's a globalist. Actually, Conservative means moderate. Maxime Bernier is far right. Fascists and Communists are the same. Maxime Bernier's position on immigration is even more extreme. Canada and America were built by hard working migrants. The key word is hard working.
That's what the statue of liberty represents. Now all of a sudden racism is in and that is not acceptable. The Constitution and the Charter of Rights protects the rights of minorities.

Trump revoking protections for Cubans, Haitians and other migrants
The BBC is reporting that "US President Donald Trump's administration has said it will revoke the temporary legal status of more than half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela." So now Trump is making legal migrants illegal so he can hunt them down and thrown them into mega prisons. That is insane. I do not support it and I don't support where it leads.
A few years ago I was messaging an American in California I served a mission with. She was complaining about how migrants stole her husband's job. She said her husband worked as a computer programmer and had been out of work for a year.
I said illegal migrants picking fruit or working in construction did not steal her husbands computer programming job. If her husband had been out of work for a year it was because he didn't want to work. We need to own that and stop kicking the cat by blaming migrants for all our problems. Immigration represents grown. Stopping immigration represents stagnation. We don't have to go from one extreme to the other extreme. There is a better place in between.
