This was a pretty balanced argument for Saunders, who usually advocates for open borders. He makes the point, in particular, that if the Trudeau government doesn't act to rectify this new border problem public support, such as it is, for the government's broader immigration and refugee agenda will be compromised. When I raised this issue in a couple of my posts yesterday, noting that support for the immigration and refugee program may be nearing a tipping point (which is suggested by recent polling and studies), some responded to the effect that this simply can't be the case. Starry-eyed optimists should consider that when a decidedly pro-immigration commentator like Saunders is raising an alarm about declining public support for the government's program the problem is real.
