It's a slap in the face of legal immigrants. This, along with quotas that restrict permanent residency based on place of birth, are inhumane policies that signal to legal immigrants that they are not wanted here. Apparently, the fact that millions of hispanic illegal immigrants already break the putative purpose of the quota: that no large segment of the population has close ties to any given country, so that they can not disproportionately influence foreign policy toward that country (e.g., Donetsk and Luhansk) is of no consequence: the quota remains in place. Meanwhile, Canada is planning to bring in 500,000 immigrants a year to replace boomers leaving the workforce. A phenomenal opportunity to bring in highly-paid citizens who will integrate very easily into the country and provide economic benefits from day one to the host country.
