- Really seems like Poland is in a race to the bottom with Germany with how much popularity Polish far right parties are gaining.

It is a problem for everyone. Though looking at Switzerland, where the far right is dominating since a long time, workers are still immigrating.

Xenophobia is bad for corporate profits. Immigrants are needed to suppress local wages.

- It's pretty bad for everyone, actually. Have fun with your throwaway.

  It’s only good for far right parties because it wins them votes but they also tend to enjoy the benefits of immigration - lower wages. My point is that they can’t have it both ways.

  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.

  I guess because the "suppress local wages" thing sounds a lot like the "immigrants took our jobs" thing
