This week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy features Katie Lam, Conservative Member of Parliament for Weald of Kent and a Shadow Home Office Minister, who brings a British perspective on the pressing issue of immigration.Since 1974, the UK's immigration system has been marked by broken promises to the voters and rising numbers – despite repeated pledges to reduce migration. Net migration has averaged 100,000+ annually since 1977, peaking at more than 900,000 in 2023, creating profound economic, cultural, and practical challenges.In a conversation with Mark Krikorian, the Center's Executive Director, Lam argues that both legal and illegal migration must be tackled head-on:Legal MigrationCurrent system brings in too many people and is insufficiently selective.Health & Social Care visa was projected to bring in 6,000 entrants – but saw 600,000 arrivals, many not working in the sector.Consequence: artificially low wages, huge costs to taxpayers in part due to long-term settlement rights that provide welfare, housing, and full healthcare.Solution: cut and cap numbers, set clear criteria.Illegal MigrationOver 30,000 illegal Channel crossings so far this year – the 2025 number will be a record high.Criminal gangs drive the crossings, costing taxpayers 52,000 pounds per person annually – before even receiving asylum – in housing, food, clothing, and spending money.Lam supports the Rwanda plan – a third-country asylum model to deter unlawful entry.She also raises concerns about judicial overreach, international treaties, and the erosion of parliamentary authority in controlling borders. Lam makes the case for a reformed Conservative Party to deliver consistent, specific, and enforceable immigration policies – restoring trust with voters and winning in the future election.In today's commentary, Mark Krikorian notes the role that taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens plays in the current government shutdown debate and observes that the only major immigration function that stops during a shutdown is E-Verify.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestKatie Lamm is the Conservative Member of Parliament for Weald of Kent and a Shadow Home Office Minister.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice breaks an EXCLUSIVE news story that the Liberal Government refuses to share exit tracking data on those ‘temporary' visitors whose visas have expired and those who are illegally in Canada. That's right. The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) tracks if a temporary foreign worker or international student hops on a flight and leaves Canada. But suspiciously, they won't share the numbers! Apparently, the government doesn't want the public to know how many ‘temporary' visitors are over-staying their visas, remaining here illegally. Why does this matter? The Carney Government's 2025 immigration plan assumes that 1.2 million ‘temporary' residents will VOLUNTARILY leave the country once their visas expire. But nobody will track them down. Could many of them decide to stay illegally, joining the estimated 500,000 illegals already in Canada (Ottawa's own estimate). This story – and their refusal to share data with journalists – shows the Liberal government's refusal to take illegal immigration seriously. Later in the episode, Candice is joined by Conservative MP and the Shadow Minister of Immigration Michelle Rempel Garner. They discuss our exclusive story and the broader problem of relying on ‘temporary' immigrants to voluntarily leave the country on their own. Next, they discuss Pierre Poilievre's BIG announcement yesterday that the Conservatives are calling for an END to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Candice shares clips of Pierre discussing this policy announcement and his response to those who say businesses need this type of foreign labour. She also shares a clip of Prime Minister Mark Carney justifying the program because big corporations like it. Candice asks Michelle why the Conservatives didn't announce this program sooner and why they didn't run on it during the recent election, and Michelle explains how they got here. Finally, Michelle Rempel Garners SLAMS the Carney Liberals for their repeated attacks on free speech and the independent media in light of Ottawa's criminal investigation into Juno News and our reporter Keean Bexte.
