Well, if you look at the policies, for example, with the live-in caregiver program, the experience of the Filipino community with this immigration policy is that youth are separated from their parents for an average of five years. That was a study done at the University of British Columbia.
In many cases, the separation is longer, so most newly arrived Filipino youth are faced with the trauma of family separation, reunification, and migration. That has a tremendous impact on the Filipino community. How can you imagine being separated from your parents for five years or more? Being a Filipino youth and growing up without your parents is so hard. It's affecting not only the migrant workers, but also the children left behind. This is not just a violation of the migrant workers' rights to be with their families; it is also violating the rights of the children back home to be with their parents.
