In Prince Edward Island, a province in Canada, hundreds of Indian students are facing deportation after it changed its provincial immigration rules. Around 300 students are protesting and have threatened to go on a hunger strike if the Canadian province doesn’t review its latest immigration policy.

    The frustrating part of this is that the reason these kids were brought here in the first place was because our respective governments wanted to strip-mine them for every cent of value they were worth: rent, tuition, cheap labour and eventually tax revenue–all because our governments would rather strip-mine Indian students than either a) do something about the housing market, and/or b) ask ultra-wealthy Canadians to shoulder their fair share.

    The fact that there are more than a hundred Indian students in PEI alone tells me we definitely do have a problem with too many foreign students.

    The fact that immigrants demand things should be enough to deport them. That sense of entitlement won’t decrease with time.
