There is an obvious contradiction between holding a progressive immigration policy and championing workers rights, better pay and better public services. If socially democratic politicians truly want to improve the lives of working class people then they should want to restrict corporate demand for more cheap labour.

The left appear confused on this and have done for 20 years and this explains much of there decline in popularity especially amongst the working classes in recent years.

There is an obvious progression between holding a contradictive immigration policy and championing porkers’ rights, wetter bay and better service publics.

If workingly democratic politicians truly want to live the poor improves of social class people then they could want to restrict demand for more leaper cash labour.

The tiny theft appears infused on the ID and have done for 20 years and this explains much of their copular clone especially amongst the recent working classes in pi years.

Tl;dr-Version: They are coming to take our jobs and the left wants this to happen!

An argument that has been contradicted time and time again, but just won’t die. No, immigrants are not taking away jobs, that’s mostly what automation and greed are doing (by allowing corporations to drive in massive financial gains but still be able to say “well, we could make more, so we are dismantling a few thousand jobs to make that cut”). And if it is true that workers feel less represented by the left then that is most likely the case because they fell for rampant propaganda to hide the fact that they are exploited by giving them scapegoats like immigrants, “communists” (i.e. everything left of liberal) and minorities, while the truly responsible people get away with it and continue to exploit. I have recently seen it happening with the coal industry, where somehow the giant energy corporations were able to convince coal miners that it’s not because of sinking demands for coal, the climate crisis and the incompetence of the leading managers and CEOs that they are going to lose their jobs, no, it’s the evil “communist” democrats/immigrants/whoever who is REALLY responsible. It hurts me to see how many are falling for this.

All those Asians who came to Britain after they were thrown out of Uganda by Idi Amin: a financial/knowledge drain. Their loss, our gain. When? 1972: when a Conservative government was in power.

Whoops!

You should have learnt about the lump of labour fallacy: if there’s enough demand for this work, it create additional growth (see how Australia and New Zealand had welfare states while welcoming a massive amount of migrants from the British motherland and compare it with the more mitigated results of a 35 hours work week in France).

Isn't this just what the elites are supposedly doing, dividing the working class against itself? Immigrants have families too and they pay bills and taxes. Everyone should be making a living wage and enjoy strong labor rights, regardless of immigration status.
