US academic Michael Lind has said this about the US immigration situation, but it is totally relevant to all Western countries. The bottom line is that immigration serves the ruling elites by increasing their profits. Lind is the author of The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Managerial Elite, which “debunks the idea that the [populist] insurgencies are primarily the result of bigotry.” He outlines a great divide between the old working class and the New Class of managers. The book “… traces how the breakdown of mid-century class compromises between business and labor led to the conflict, and reveals the real battle lines. On one side is the managerial overclass—the university-credentialed elite that clusters in high-income hubs and dominates government, the economy and the culture. On the other side is the working class of the low-density heartlands—mostly, but not exclusively, native and white. The two classes clash over immigration, trade, the environment, and social values, and the managerial class has had the upper hand. As a result of the half-century decline of the institutions that once empowered the working class, power has shifted to the institutions the overclass controls: corporations, executive and judicial branches, universities, and the media.” Thus, the ordinary people are facing a war of survival against their own local traitors.
