>>212819122>Essential work needs to be performedAmerica has an overproduction crisis.
Immigration is used to supress wages to mantain production at local in competitive costs and use that competitive costs to export, often, due to the large overproduction america levels down buying power through artificial scarcity.
America produces way more than it needs, way more than it consumes.
>immigration is overall the most effective measure in order to access that workforceNo its not, slavery is.
Since we dont care about anything but greenline slavery is the most viable alternative.
>especially given that no technological solution exist to supplement this workforceThere is, and outlawing migration only creates a higher stake and speculation in developing it.
Besides migrants can be sent back regularly and make a market of commodifying that.
>nor is one likely to exist anytime soon.We already have fertility cults, they would simply need state mandated propaganda.
>Second, even though wage increasesMigration supresses wages and creates an inflationary effect, labour is a commodity that is exchanged for other commodities.
If there is more labour avaliable, it loses value.
If migration spikes, so spikes housing price, so spikes grocery prices, etc. More demand, similar supply but labour becomes excedent.
Unless you are suggesting to make a fully planned economy.
Which does not need migration, anyway
