You can't possibly be earnestly misunderstanding what GP meant when they said wages would get suppressed, right?

Obviously the migrants wages would be relatively higher, and the locals' wages would be suppressed. Typically locals' needs are the (reasonably) top priority for elected officials.

Hence my insistence that foreigners are also humans.

Why would the locals' wages be suppressed?

In any case, we could try to figure out how much locals' wages would be suppressed, then tax the migrant workers that amount, and pay the locals. Seems pretty straightforward.
