Part 5/13:
Why does the establishment promote such migration? The economic logic is straightforward: short-term gains trump long-term societal costs. By importing low-cost labor, companies and investors expand their workforce, improve margins, and drive innovation—especially visible in Silicon Valley and other entrepreneurial hubs. This influx supports economic growth but also engenders social fragmentation and cultural erosion over time.
However, these benefits come with significant downsides:
Displacement of native workers, particularly those with lower skills or IQ, as cheaper foreign labor captures job opportunities.
Erosion of societal trust and cohesion, as the influx of diverse populations can undermine shared values and create a "cutthroat" social atmosphere.
