“Low-skill” temporary foreign workers in Canada: where’s the moral firm ground?

Immigration policy: who gets to stay? Is “good enough to work, good enough to stay” the right mantra? Should I be opposed to Canadian employers hiring TFWs? What does the issue of “doctors driving cabs” have to do with the TFWP? What is the economic impact of TFWs? Why do Canadian employers hire so many, and are they stealing my job? If TFWs are temporary, why would an Immigrant Integration Council care about this issue? Are Temporary Foreign Workers being exploited? Is the TFWP racist? What is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)?
