i've been vocal about my support for regulatory overhaul in the foreign workers sector, in fact i've called to abolish it and mechanize instead, but there is perhaps a better approach than offering these people permanent resident status. surely the law can find a way to invest people with social rights in this country, without making permanent residents out of them. i would be more likely to support a more thorough safety net and more detailed social rights for temporary workers as it's own thing, and please understand that there'd need to be some tax involved in that, than jump all the way to permanent residence. that should be something that has a higher level of value attached to it. and we do want it to be valuable, right?
