First of all, you need to fix your phraseology.
They are not immigrants, migrants or refuges.
THEY ARE ILLEGAL INVADERS and should be treated accordingly.

Many powerful people think it's cheap workforce and they don't care personally because they live in rich, protected, neighborhoods.
Canadians may end up voting right wing party but it will not change much things because even the right likes cheap workforce.

The quality of life will drop significantly (housing shortages, more crime etc.) but never to a point of a significant revolution, at least not within our lifetimes.

The most you can do is save up enough money for financial independence and enjoy the time you have left.

Generally speaking, highly qualified immigration is nearly always a big boon. Illegal immigration can be a boon or a burden, depending on the scope, on how much they're integrated into the workforce and on how many services and social benefits they end up receiving in spite of their undocumented status. What is always a huge burden are low-qualification immigrants (doesn't matter if legal or illegal) coming into countries which grant them easy access to their welfare state. Canada and Europe have taken in far too many immigrants of the latter type over the past decade.

This is what Milton Friedman's famous quote gets at: in the long run, you cannot maintain (functionally) open borders and a generous welfare state. If you try to have both at the same time, you will attract droves of persons who will be net drains on society. Then, sooner or later, either the border will have to be closed or the welfare state be razed.

This is the part that people don't understand.

If someone broke into their house or setup a tent on their front lawn, they would call the cops.

But if someone trespasses into their country illegally, they don't care?

To be fair though, Democrats (US)/Liberals (CAN) have implemented a lot of squatter-friendly laws and regulations in recent years, so they're at least consistent.

sounds like treason.

It's a literal invasion.
If any of our politicians where legit they would be calling for military action.
And that is exactly what we need.

I'm certain if any illegal trespassers stepped on a politicians property, they'd call the cops or secret service to take them away.

they aren't illegal? the numbers are high as they are because of the targets that were set in canada over the past several years
many of them are supposed to go home after their visa expires but our ruling party is looking at options to grant them citizenship
