The unintended consequence of allowing these migrants into these countries to get cheap labor will be economic upheaval. That economic consequence will offset whatever advantage they expected to get with the cheap labor. Fools!
When the tourist stay away the dominoes will fall.
Governments eventually metamorphisize into beasts that want to forever grow in size, wealth, and power. This isn't about cheap labor so much as survival of the beast.
That makes us even dumber and more deserving of our future than Europe.
Surely Europe has lost billions in tourism revenue already...
“That economic consequence will offset whatever advantage they expected to get with the cheap labor.”
Your post should be enshrined in a monument to understatement. It is equivalent to saying that spending your entire net worth on crack cocaine AND SMOKING IT ALL is not the single best way to become a billionaire.
