Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yes, you think they'll negotiate with you.

They won't.

They don't care about you, they care about making money. If they pay you more, they make less money.

You think they'll pay you more if there are no immigrants. They have no reason to. They don't like you more than they like foreigners.

As long as there isn't enough people waiting on jobs to easy replace someone, there is room for negation because if the guy packs up, the work won't be done and no money is made.

Sure, the company can pack up shop and relocate to a different country, but that also has a bunch of costs in itself. It may be more profitable to pay people slightly more - again, negotiation. But again, that is only possible if it isn't easier to just quickly hire someone else.

You don't need to believe me, just check how the average hungarian wage increased in the last 20 years. That's the effect when there aren't enough surplus workers, so employed people can't be easily replaced.

So your country has such a tiny population as so few people unemployed that if they banned all immigrants, corporations would not have enough employees to make profits and wouldn't finds some place to be more profitable if that's the case?

Because you're right, I don't believe you. Since that is not how anything works.

It's literally how it worked. You can check the statistics.
