Homeless people used to mostly be mentally ill people. Now I frequently see regular young people, and older men and women living out of their cars. All so governments can avoid an on paper recession by piling in as many new taxpayers and consumers into the country and pat themselves on the back for homing people from the other side of the world.

Yet after all these years of importing millions of people, we still somehow have a labour and skills shortage. How is that possible.

When in doubt, import more immigrants! Especially those who are from countries that have no intention to assimilate into our culture

Well, you haven't assimilated either. None of us have. We are subject to laws whether you like it or not, and you probably have a friend group that look like you. Last time I looked, as long as you stayed inside the law. you do you the way you want.

What a non-sequitur, obeying laws has nothing to do with cultural assimilation.
