it's an own goal end of day - led by myopic thinking about foreigners stealing the jobs

a foreigner worker pays taxes, rent & other bills thereby contributing and circulating money in the economy

now if that foreign worker stays in their home country - yes - they might get paid less - but who losses overall ? the country that would've imported labor or the worker ? - it's always the country - hence why brain drain is devastating.

remember the foreign worker only gets a better life - but losses social connections, culture etc

the countries & companies wouldn't be sponsoring these things if ultimately it didn't benefit them & them only
