Illegal immigration could be expunged with a single action. The Middle East has no such problem, yet the West does. One could stop illegal immigration simply by punishing the businesses that hire undocumented workers, rather than the victims the immigrants themselves who are exploited. What if this wasn't a failure of policy, but a strategy? Here is how it serves the "predators" at the top of the food chain: elites, governments, oligarchs, and capitalists alike.
Someone to Blame
Governments can now blame immigrants both legal and illegal for the mismanagement of the economy, the corruption they oversee, and the endless upward movement of wealth. All of these systemic issues are pinned on illegal immigrants.
A Tool for Racial Supremacy
Have you ever seen a religious supremacist compare the best of their side with the worst of the other? A racist often compares their "best-looking" person with the "worst-looking" person from another group. A meat-eater might compare the best of their kind with the worst examples of vegans or vegetarians.
Imagine a white supremacist who wants to affirm their supremacy to other whites who are mostly liberal or open-minded. They might do this by importing the most problematic individuals from non-white groups and placing them strategically in liberal or centrist areas. To avoid being caught in this deduction, they do the opposite: they stand as supporters of immigration and label the deportation of even illegal immigrants as "racist."
For example, the UK imported masses of people from other countries sometimes individuals whom even their own countrymen avoided. These immigrants then acted as "transplants," slowly turning some areas into ghettos and transforming them into the likeness of the villages or towns they fled. Many educated individuals from the same regions such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran, or Iraq would not want to associate with them.
While countries like Nigeria are famous for their doctors, the system often imports scammers to Europe instead. In the name of pity or "fake liberalism," they are given a free hand and a level of legal insulation so they can continue to disturb the peace, thereby convincing the rest of the population that "others" are savage.
If Europe, the USA, Canada, or Australia imported only "top-shelf" immigrants doctors and engineers it would have the opposite effect. In every country where Indians have gone, for instance, they are statistically at the bottom of the list for crime, divorce, welfare, and homelessness. Conversely, they are at the top for income per ethnicity, graduation rates, and professional roles (engineers, doctors, lawyers). This creates a "threat" where the immigrant is seen as better than the native. While no one is inherently better or worse by genes, the value system and culture make them who they are.
Helping Businesses
Businesses gain access to cheap labor. They get to exploit workers by paying them half the standard wage for twice the work. They provide substandard living and safety conditions because these immigrants cannot go to the authorities to complain. Furthermore, these businesses can collaborate with immigration departments by occasionally reporting their own staff, which helps the department meet its quotas.
If there were no illegal immigrants, many in the immigration department would lose their employment and funding. If there were no crime, what would happen to the "judicial-capitalistic complex" (judiciary, prisons, and police)? If there were no diseases, what would happen to pharmaceutical companies?
Supply for the Predators
Predators can prey on illegal immigrants and exploit them, knowing their victims are too afraid to go to the authorities. Whether for illegal labor, organ trafficking, or even darker fetishes, illegal immigrants provide an easy supply for the needs of these predators.
Good for Politicians
Immigration provides a perfect issue for getting elected. A politician can rise to power promising to deport immigrants, then do the opposite or nothing at all; making more noise than results. Most politicians are not worried about the long-term future; they are worried about the future of their own offspring. If the economy is failing, they can blame unemployment, inflation, healthcare expenses, and crime on immigrants.
Conclusion
It is idiocy to expect someone to commit suicide for someone else’s benefit. When the existence of pharmaceutical companies depends on the existence of ailments and physical suffering, is it not idiocy to expect them to work against their own existence by producing total cures? Similarly, is it not idiocy to expect politicians to solve our problems when their existence depends on the existence of those very problems? Are you an idiot?
