Harald Bauder - Immigration policy and Indigenous perspectives

This interview is part of the video series for the project "Governing irregular migration and refugees", co-funded by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Canada.https://www.eucanet.org/governing-irr... In the interview, Dr. Harald Bauder (Toronto Metropolitan University) discusses the connection between immigration policy and Indigenous perspectives, which is rarely addressed in scholarship or public debate. Dr. Bauder highlights the contradiction in Canada’s national identity as a “country of immigrants” while excluding Indigenous claims to belonging. He argues that immigration and colonialism are historically linked, yet these issues are often treated separately in political discussions. Dr. Bauder notes that Indigenous communities generally support immigration but expect newcomers to acknowledge colonial history and respect Indigenous governance and treaties. He also questions whether reconciliation can occur within the Canadian state framework. Dr. Bauder then explores urban approaches to immigration, particularly in “sanctuary cities,” which prioritize solidarity and inclusivity over the exclusionary, sovereignty-based policies of nation-states. He suggests that cities offer a model for more compassionate immigration practices. Dr. Bauder predicts that tensions will rise between municipal and national governments, especially in the U.S., where sanctuary city policies may clash with federal deportation efforts. Overall, Dr. Bauder advocates for integrating Indigenous perspectives and urban solidarity in shaping immigration and settlement policies.
