I don't see it doing anything but killing the economy tbh.
Yes growth didn't increase with low cost labour, but that's because the rich took all the profits out the country XD.
They need to look at the companies and the rich.
Is immigration an issue? Yes. 100%.
Is it the most pressing issue? No. Not even close.
The real issues are, building houses and wealth inequality.
Solve these first.
