The scope is actually quite severe. Something like 2+ million new entrants in the last few years?

for comparison, Canada (a population of 40 million) is getting 500k immigrants/year now, which is over 1% of the total population. this is happening through “legal” avenues, but seems to be having a big effect on traffic, housing costs, homeless population, etc…
