Deep in the immigration debate are some dark truths that no one wants to acknowledge. It’s a huge problem that a town can’t survive without relatively poor migrant workers. It’s a problem that people in developed nations can’t, or won’t, do the necessary work that keeps their society running, so they must rely on there being people in less developed countries who are poor and desperate enough that they will come and do the work, for a low enough wage. If modern society MUST have poor, migrant workers to operate, then that means we MUST keep a certain percentage of the global population poor enough so that we in the developed world will always have a sufficient supply of cheap labor. We can’t allow all countries to achieve a level of industrial development and high enough living standards so that their people don’t have to seek economic opportunities elsewhere, or else we lose a necessary supply of cheap labor. It’s a dystopian reality.
