> Off shoring and massive immigration are never popular with the working and lower classes, these are popular with the higher classes who desire cheap labor for their rent seeking

You simultaneously mischaracterize what I wrote and assume that you speak for multiple classes of people, universally, world wide. You're wrong about what I wrote and you're wrong in your assumption of the universality of your opinion.

I didn't say anything about off shoring or massive immigration. There's majority support for lots of qualified categories of immigration, and it's not based on rent-seeking higher classes. Sometimes it's mutuality (e.g. EU free movement), sometimes it's competitive (e.g. football players), sometimes it's self-interested (e.g. doctors), sometimes it's ethnocentric, etc.

Please don't pattern-fit what you read to your pet trigger phrases.

We must be talking past each other ; I spoke of immigration to replace or replenish the working class labour pools - then you point to other sorts of migration entirely.
