Yes but they don’t find out until they get here and then they’re fucked. If these people knew how high the cost of living here really was compared to potential income they wouldn’t immigrate. So we just keep a bait and switch happening with these poor bastards.

Not to mention that when the government says we need immigration, what they mean is we need uninformed people to come and accept lower wage jobs to keep incomes from rising. We don’t have holes in our employment. We have holes in fair pay employment. So instead of paying someone a fair increase annually, we just don’t, and find someone to fill that spot for cheaper instead.
