Look at what happened in the UK where they "solved" that "problem". Suddenly a lot of jobs are vacated because no local would do any of that shitty work under shitty conditions with shitty pay. The immigrants were the only people that kept that capitalistic exploiting machine running because they had lower standards. The whole country profited from that.

But it wasn't enough to exploit them, they also had to be painted as parasites so the right wing fascit fuckheads could spit on something. And now they have endless holes in their economy. Well done.

What do you think would happen if there weren’t any cheap foreign laborers and local folks refused to work until compensation and conditions improved?

For the record - I don’t hate immigrants. I hate companies for cutting way more jobs than necessary and then using cheap imported labor as an excuse to pay less.
