<Probably the official immigration system is too restrictive. > No, it's too lax. Citizenship should be a privately owned asset like shares in a company. There should be a market for citizenship, with options, futures and so on. The official channel for work related immigration is too restrictive, but the controls on people avoiding it are not tough enough. Like lots of systems where the government tries to stop people doing what they want. Like drug prohibition.... Moom

Citizenship should be a privately owned asset like shares in a company. You mean like a democracy... ROTF.. where the same mindless zombies vote that invest in the market ? When citizens see their citizenship shares dropping with some dumb political idea, that'll soon get the politicians doing what citizens want. Doesn't happen here.. We have a 1 billion (1,000,000,000) dollar gun registry fiasco going on. We are all told that it's what the public wants. We have no money for health care (something the people REALLY DO want) but can blow 150 million on a failed computer system for said registry... cynical in Toronto..
