Simple: labor force with access to a strong social safety net (including good welfare system) is expensive to the moneyed classes. It's cheaper to hire people who have no labor protections, no access to welfare, and ideally also no local support network.

It's not about making refugees not come. It's about making sure they never get the protections the local labor force already has.

Why? Because then they become super cheap labor. And a way to dismantle labor protections for everyone!

How?

"Look at those refugees! Businesses are hiring them because they are cheap, they are cheap because they don't have labor protections, ergo labor protections hurt your ability to get hired, my working class friend!" 馃憖

That's the narrative.

The problem isn't refugees "stealing jobs", the problem is capitalists being able to skirt labor protections.

The solution is not to block refugees from coming, it's to afford them the same labor protections, and access to welfare and healthcare!

People washing up on Italian and Spanish beaches and dying in cold, dark Bia艂owie偶a forests in Poland are not members of some barbaric horde trying to take down "Western civilization", steal your job, or hog the welfare system.

They are fellow human beings, with hopes and dreams, making the desperate decision to flee their homes, risk their lives, travel thousands of kilometers in hope of finding a chance to *survive*.

They are visible victims of a class war.
