it wouldn't be dragging individuals' wages down, except those in the specific industries the migrants are moving into, maybe
Just most would have their earnings tank
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki if we're talking about them doing household labour then yeah they're new jobs
Can you consider it a job if they pay you to do it?
<:thronk:441701565607444482> @Goblin_Slayer_Floki
What if. We do not need household labour?
you should probably clean your sheets sometime dude
Either way a sizable amount of the citizenry would have a wage loss. Higher GDP means shit if the PPD tanks and they cant afford the goods.
I do it myself and I hire citizens?
Or you could hire a migrant and spend that time relaxing
I don't need a slave?
Or hire a citizen to do it and relax
^
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki sure but that wage loss is offset against the benefit they can obtain from sponsoring the visa
citizens are expensive
Money grows on trees!
I want some $500/month filipina labour
The government will pay for it!
Minimum wage
don't do minwage for these migrants
don't do it at all, ideally
i love markets
So you have an illegal worker?
Yet you understand nothing of the Market.
no, you make it legal
@GeorgyBoyo Yet you understand nothing of the Market.
LOL
if I can write your criticism back at you and have it be just as valid, it's not specific enough
Mhm
No I'm asking you now
maybe you should hire a migrant to make these arguments for you
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki nah I don't currently, but it's legal here
Minimum wage in NZ is 17.70 an hour. If you pay less than that it is illegal
i live in Singapore
I migrated
sorry if that triggers you
It's legal to be illegal <:Commie_ball:466404411535785995> See comrades? The problems was very simple.
@24601🚄🔰🌐 <:kek:590371888480387073> just wait until you accidentally get a Marxist government installed and they make killing the 1% legal too
I wanted to go to where my wages were most valuable because the opportunities in my country were shit
@Ondsinet k
That's what we're trying to fight here anyways fyi
