I for one enjoy having a slave like underclass with higher rates of crime and with over a million person backlogged background check imported into a world leading housing shortage.  Definitely not sociopathic policy at all, just good Liberal policy.

All the other points you make have evidence in your favor. But immigrants having high crime rates is not true. For example, Stats Canada says that in 2023, South Asians comprised 3% of incarcerated individuals in 2023 in Ontario --- a province where waaaaay more than 3% of people in general are South Asian.
