Xenophobia is bad for corporate profits. Immigrants are needed to suppress local wages.
I’m an immigrant myself. While I do contribute to the economy all people get is higher rent and no increase in pay. The housing stock isn’t keeping up with the immigration rates and there’s no incentive for employers to compete for workers by increasing wages because there are always more people willing to work for less.
