Frida Ghitis : 400 immigration lawyers gathered at a conference in Victoria to discuss media's impact on migration.

She says they fear heightened media coverage is “sparking intense public debate’s concerns.

Ghitis says immigration lawyers fear media coverage of migration is influencing public views.

She adds there are 13,000 licensed immigration consultants in Canada , a doubling in just seven years .

She writes: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has doubled its staff in a decade to more than 14,000 employees.

Peter Bergen : It's generally a good thing Canada 's taboo against reporting on and debating migration policy has eased.

He says journalists' goal is to responsibly probe to the truth of a matter and, beyond that, to “let the chips fall where they may’t.

Bergen says journalists’ job is to shine as much light on this vast system, which impacts millions .
