Doing so reduces the standard of living for everyone else, for what? For benefit to a handful of greedy business owners

If they keep working there the wages will stay stagnant, If they don't then the wages will eventually increase which would lead to the average person fulfilling these jobs

We shouldn't really allow migrants in just so they can become a serf class to do all the low paying jobs

How does allowing an immigrant a job as a cleaner lower the standard of living for everyone else? @Eccles

Because you are keeping wages down and increasing contention for other limited resources

Compared to those jobs not being fulfiled you mean?

Contention for other limited resources puts the cost of those resources up

It's those business owners choice not to fulfil those jobs

Cleaners being paid less

Also, given the unemployment rate is 3.9% in the UK, that's a decent chunk of people that could do those jobs, they just don't. Is that a problem with the people, or the jobs themselves? It's irrelevant because adding cheap labour to the mix just makes the job market more complicated for people born in the country to get something they're qualified for, so why bother?

Affects other cleaners

Not the entire jobs market

Not true, PeP

Academic Agent has some primers on this

Suggest you go check his channel

You can link me specific videos

If there was unlimited land, and there were unlimited government services, and there was no welfare, then you could import as many serfs as you like and the benefits you describe could be realised

But we live in the real world which places constraints upon this

If your government prints infinite money, it means nothing more than the material it's printed on.

Doesn't directly address this particular question, but contains relevent tangential information

If money means nothing in a country, there's no reason for business to be there, so it devalues the money further.

But both Sewell and Keynes agree that you cannot have open borders and a welfare state simultaneously

In this specific case, the farmer can pay more, which means putting his prices up, or invest to get higher productivity via improved efficiency or automation

Or his business can go to someone else who outcompetes him

Or, he keeps the wages low and invests at the same time?

All these options do not involve the negative impact on everyone else that bringing in cheap migrant labour does

Possibly
