“So when the open borders get closed, the labor pool stops growing and following the laws of supply and demand, unemployment goes down and wages go up. The ruling elites don’t want that”
Interesting analysis. Where did the workers go that formerly had the now-unfilled jobs?
Maybe they wouldn't or couldn't work for slave wages. I've seen quite a few news stories where a company was raided, had to get rid of their illegal workers, and the next day the line of applicants was around the block.
