"Instead of really trying to bring in the best and the brightest to fill the labour market gaps that need to be filled, what we're doing is bringing in low skill, low wage, expendable and exploitable temporary foreign workers in the form of students," Banerjee said in an interview.

Refreshingly blunt. Also unsurprising. Also yikes.

Immigration should be a win for the country and a win for the people coming in.

But we've been in such a rush to exploit students that we've forgotten that they're something other than easy funding for post-secondary institutions.
