Immigration policy is all about having control over the supply of labor, and its cost.
Having an undocumented and potentially instantly-deportable work force helps keep wages low, and lets them be deported at the drop of a hat if there’s an oversupply of labor.
Having an indoctrinated nativist / chauvinist population also creates a constituency to make deportations viable, and justify segregating “non-native” workers into low paid, exploitative jobs.
This is all really common in the US, UK, France, and Germany.
Beautiful watch.
