But what’s the real point? Yes , they can let in more H1-b’s etc. but the lower end workers are going to climb in the hammock as quick as they can. Plus peasants that are illiterate in their native tongue can only do menial jobs. There is a limit to how many of them are needed. If by doing this you destroy the middle class, what have you accomplished? Who is going to buy the goods and services that these greedy companies produce? Who’s going to pay the taxes to fund the goodies? Short term gains maybe, but long term disaster. The elite have children too. I really am at a loss as to why.
“Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.” Thomas Jefferson.
You also assume that they are thinking that far ahead.
Our elite business class is as corrupt and disconnected as our political class.
