We need immigration. We are the second largest landmass in the world yet with a population of under 40 million We are a drop in the bucket vs the other 9 billion.
The problem is the countries us racists would like immigration from; ie European countries - have already been drained. They can barely make enough babies to keep their populations stable let alone provide an excess.
So we take in middle eastern and African populations in their stead,, hoping an assimilation into our peaceful culture will make them peaceful as well. To be fair it mostly works. The trouble makers are a very small part of the overall net benefit of bringing them here.
In spite of all that, our angst of seeing the old Canada turn into a sea of multicultural enclaves where us multigenerational old stock Canadians are suddenly deemed irrelevant is a hard pill to swallow for many. This is why a hiatus or slowing down immigration is so attractive. We want Canada to, well.. stay Canada, not become Somalia North.
So what party can align our needs vs the world against the wants of our population?
So we take in middle eastern and African populations in their stead
Middle Eastern and African immigrants make up only a small percentage. People from India, the Philippines and China make up almost 60% of all current immigrants to Canada.
