Just realized something...
If immigration from poorer countries into the west has resulted in lower quality live for the working class there because of higher supply of workers vs demand, then why hasn't the inverse happened in the countries they came from? If supply & demand theory is true then migrants leaving their homelands should in theory result in labor shortage and thus tip the supply vs balance mechanics in favor of the workers there, thus resulting in higher wages and better quality of life. Yet this doesn't happen and these countries just remain poor.
Doesn't this just proof capitalism is bullshit and that markets are controlled/rigged?
