Immigrants and asylum seekers don\u2019t steal jobs. They create jobs.<\/p>\n
Immigrants and asylum seekers buy groceries. They rent homes. They buy cars. They buy gas. They buy clothes. They buy toys. They buy school supplies. They buy work supplies. And so on.<\/p>\n
And the consumption of all those services increases demand, which increases jobs. Sure, immigrants and asylum seekers will fill existing jobs, but their presence results in a net increase in jobs, not in a net decrease.<\/p>\n
And of course there might be some immigrants and some asylum seekers who won\u2019t work, but I\u2019d love someone to provide evidence that it\u2019ll be at a rate higher than that of people who were born in Canada (or the US, or whatever country we\u2019re discussing).<\/p>\n
