The need that immigrant labour is filling is the need for businesses to pay labour less. Without it wages would rise and the labour market would benefit (at the expense of business). I think the reason we’re seeing so much anger by voters is we’re running our economy to benefit business at the expense of labour, which is why we’re seeing such a strong reaction against immigration by a large portion of the working class. It’s misplaced anger, but Capitalism is our religion and like Christianity it’s been deemed beyond criticism.
