Refugee family faces separation as father and son ordered deported from Canada - sh.itjust.works

An Indian man whose wife is an accepted refugee in Canada is facing deportation with the couple’s five-year-old son in what lawyers say is a troubling new practice of separating the families of people with protected status. Ravi Chauhan and his young son are set to be deported Monday, leaving his wife, who is the child’s mother, behind in Canada without the possibility of seeing her family for what could be years while they await permanent residency. Lawyers and advocates say Chauhan’s case reflects a broader change in which border officials are increasingly deporting the spouses and children of protected persons who were previously allowed to remain while applications were processed.

Its also cruel to bring people into a vast housing shortage.

We’ve already debates this you and I. By the way, Canada’s population just fell for the first time in history. Did that fix the crisis?

Seems to be helping, yes. I just think it needs to be around 4-5x income as it was historically.

I haven’t had this debate with you.

Do you think it’s ok to import foreign workers en masse when we can’t support them?

We are basically complicit in human trafficking. And as a bonus this makes it almost impossible for youth to find work.

Facebook sux but go lurk the indians in canada groups. Let me know how much fun you think they are having.

We debated the root causes of housing unaffordability about a month ago: lemmy.ca/comment/21841706 You called my arguments …gaslighting.

Now apparently immigrants are also to blame for unemployment. What else are you going to pile on us?

And save me the crocodile tears about “trafficking”. Obviously I’m not supporting the kind of precarious status the temporary foreign worker program stamps on people’s lives. Immigrants should have full status with full rights to organize, unionize with all other workers. But you found that …worrying in that same discussion.

Stop fucking blaming immigrants. The housing crisis, the affordability crisis, youth unemployment, all those are caused by a rigged economic system that fucks over indigenous, settler and immigrant workers for the benefit of a hundred rich families. Income inequality is at an old time record in this country and nativism is a very convenient distraction that serves them just perfect.
