I think Eric Weinstein probably has a fairly reasonable take on it that, a rich elite class have been using immigration to drive wages down and consolidate wealth onto themselves

But we still import them

4Head

Not to mention gain votes using said immigrants

@RooHappeh Must keep the supply flowing

It's normal supply demand stuff

Supply is vast

Also, most people aren't brought up to think of employment as a contractual agreement between two parties, probably part of that is because of cheap labourer alternatives that would do the job in their place if they say no

And there's no demand

And in case we had industry

We outsourced it to China

Where people are glad

People are generally unaware of supply/demand because we take it for granted

That they won't starve

And the moment chinese want more

They will move to india

Etc

It's almost like Capitalism has been lifting millions out of abject poverty

The funniest part to me is that this shit somehow managed to evolve from union-style parties.

Like HOW THE FUCK.

Maybe the Chinese people in China should've been kept in poverty

Look where we are at now

that's what annoys me about labour unions in america advocating for free movement of labour and the kind of immigration reform that would bring in more people -- it's a position just to make union members dependent on THEM (the union) for their quality of life. it's insidious.

It's literally what Labour/Democrats should be against.

but instead they are ofr

for

That's why it's clown world, labour party is against working class

Faaaaark it's daylight outside

cuz voter fraud

Well, on the topic of America and immigration, you begin to understand the overwhelming pushback to decrimilizing illegal immigration when looking at other countries that have adopted an immigration system without regulation of any kind.

The fact that this kind of platform doesn't give instant 0% in polls

speaking of Fraud, was it ever confirmed if Kentucky's gubernatorial election was rigged?

Is astonishing.

I've been playing up with you areshats all night.

Don't worry, allowing unfettered masses into your country AND extending government healthcare won't create an economic bubble of any kind

Just look at the flourishing success of the NHS <:sadgon:544640228166598657>

That's racist!

Everything is racist

Putting immigration in a simple view. Imagine a stable nation as a fine wine and immigrants as water. If you open the floodgates you'll end up with no wine, but plain water and a mess of a once stable nation. The water has no flow regulation so it lets in everything, including good and bad bacterium. In addition even with regulation you need to add in more wine so it stays wine.

Everything is racist, everything is sexist and you have to point it all out
