Steve I'm for skilled immigration, I don't want to live in a white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant country with warm beer. But I believe that governments have used immigration to fill the jobs they can't get people to do without increasing salaries. Wages are kept low, so taxes have to be kept low, so we can't do things better spend more money on childcare, on education, on technology.

New figures published this week by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), adjusting historical data for methodological changes, show that net migration was 944,000 for the year ending March 2023 about 40,000 higher than had previously been thought. The drop since then has also been steeper.

In an statement Friday, the OINP office said it had identified systemic misrepresentation and/or fraud related to the eligibility requirements of the skilled trades stream of the program. The OINP director then decided to suspend the skilled trades stream, the statement said, and return all outstanding applications under it something protesters say has left hundreds of workers in limbo on their status in Canada.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services wants to expand a Biden-era policy known as public charge that could further curtail immigrants' use of public benefits. That means that migrants' use of safety net programs, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Medicare, could be considered when determining whether they should be granted further legal status, such as a green card.

South African authorities are facing heavy criticism after they held more than 150 Palestinians, including a woman who was nine months pregnant, on a plane for about 12 hours because of problems with their travel documents. A pastor who was allowed to meet the passengers while they were stuck on the plane said it was extremely hot and that children were screaming and crying.
