Maybe I’m misreading, but I don’t think @teppa is blaming immigrants. I think both things can be true: our politicians are taking advantage of hard working immigrants, exploiting them for cheap labour and increased housing demand/cost, which makes our GDP look better.
It’s not the immigrants’ fault - we need immigration badly, and benefit greatly in many ways. But not if we’re taking advantage of people. We all deserve better.
To clarify, I agree with the comment I replied to. Just wanted to add context for the people down voting. I know immigration is a difficult topic right now and we all just want to see people treated well.

That persons every response on lemmy is pure anti immigration rhetoric. They’re not a real person. I think it’s Astro turfing or whatever
That’s fair - I checked out a few more of their replies. If my generous interpretation was right, they do a poor job of making their point.
