Not just driving wages down.

In the UK benefits can be paid into foreign bank accounts so so people come over, sign on them go home. They also get council houses and sublet them.

This is why so many British nationals got caught in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over even though they got citizenship through the asylum system because apparently their own country was too dangerous for them to stay there.

afghanistan is so funny, I love it, so many people stayed there and thought all the talk USA had said about getting out was just words, since different presidents had said it for years yet never did withdraw troops. Love to see it, Biden's only good move. Probably forced to by some sort of blackmail.
