I strongly suspect that the primary impetus for our nation's open borders policy is not the desire for cheap labor, but for new consumers.

But if the low wages mean less consumption, not more. Otherwise cheap labor countries in Latin American would be better markets than USA.

Low wages only mean less consumption in comparison to high-wage workers. That's not the case here in the U.S., since the comparison is between "low-wage workers" and "nobody" (given our current demographic trends).
