Also: I just bribed politicians who will let more uneducated immigrants in so I can exploit their labor and pay them pennies on the dollar compared to your local laborers. And I started a culture war so that anyone who raises concern to the immigration and how it suppresses wages will be silenced and called a racist by the left even though it undermines their own cause.
This actually happened in Europe.
Also applies in housing. Private developers build houses, then foreign vulture capital funds outbid the locals, and VCs raise the rent prices to extortionate fees. When it is pointed out that foreign corporate buyers contribute to housing crisis, neoliberals and NIMBYs go "are you racist?" And the government (including local NIMBYs) is only too happy not to build social housing to artificially inflate property and rent prices. Many politicians in my country own multiple properties themselves. And people wonder why the far-right is on the rise...
