100%! There does seem to be a shit-lib idea that allowing the mega rich to dictate our immigration policy, specifically in order to drive down wages, is a left wing position. It is not. Not even slightly.
Even as someone who knows the only way to stop most of the shit is to abolish boarders all together, which is way too radical for most people, we have to deal with the world as it is, not how we would like it to be.
Of course the mega rich are a bigger problem, but don’t think they won’t weaponise immigration in more than one way where they can.
I don’t know about too many but companies do use immigrant labour to undercut unionized construction workers.
It means usually shittier pay and more (needlessly) dangerous work for the immigrants and layoffs and fewer opportunities for the local workers.
That’s not to say the company, the bosses, taking away most of the profits and abusing the system or the people isn’t the bigger problem.
