BBC Immigrant labour lies.

The BBC liars were on top form last night (23/12/2005) telling us how "the US can't live without hispanic immigrant labour". This is of course a part of the Bilderberger, New World Order, One World Government BBC ITN ruling class propaganda campaign to sell to their dupe viewers the idea that immigrants are required by the economy. Immigrants are not required by the economy. Immigrants are desired by the elite but that is not the same as required. Labour markets as we all know clear all by themselves. Labour markets will clear with immigrants and labour markets will clear without them. There is no such thing as "the job that can't be filled", "the jobs English people don't want". It is a question of what wage clears the labour market. Immigrants do not push the natives out of jobs and immigrants do not fill unfilled jobs-rather the immigrants add themselves at the margin and create the very job they fill. The lying media show an immigrant "filling a job" as though that job would have existed without the immigrant. But in the process of adding themselves the immigrants lower the marginal product of labour and wages at the bottom. Immigrants increase the relative supply of labour compared to the stock of capital and hence lower the wage fraction of the output and raise the profit fraction. They lower the relative price of unskilled to skilled labour and lower the relative price of unskilled to skilled commodities. That is why they are championed by the bourgeois elite and their bourgeois media. In addition to being the capitalist exploiters of immigrant labour in the workplace and benefiting from the effect immigrant labour has in lowering the wage fraction and raising the profit fraction of the output the bourgeois are also the personal buyers of services produced by immigrant workers. Servants have made a comeback recently with the increase in income inequality. The immigrants here are to be the direct suppliers of low paid servile labour.
When the BBC isn't busy sucking off the superich bourgeois global elite it turns it's attention to the little people and tells us how we will have to retire later, how our wages will have to fall to the level of China, how wages are "too high", how "we in the west" ie the low paid western drudge working class people are spoiled. How we are spoiled by welfare. It is a standard propaganda line of the bourgeois media that the working class lives to well. We are not told which other class would gain from a fall in the living standard of the majority ie the bourgeois class. All the lies from the bourgeois media about "competitiveness" are meant to give the impression that countries compete against themselves. A country does indeed become more competitive if real wages fall but not because the value or price of it's output changes but rather because the working class receives a smaller fraction of it's own product and then the profit fraction and rate of return rises in this country and it becomes more attractive to capitals in other countries which then threaten to flee unless their workers hand over a bigger part of their product. The top 1% of the population of most western countries now have the same income as the bottom 40% added together. Immigrant labour is wanted by the bourgeeois and the bourgeois media so this happy process (for the bourgeois) continues. The majority of people live from selling their labour power ie their ability to work to other people (the bourgeois class). Immigration does not serve the interest of the majority but of the elite. The elite media keeps the majority class drugged and passes of it's interest- the bourgeois class interest as the interest of the country.
Immigrant labour is the latest ruling class weapon to lower the wage fraction of the output and raise the profit, interest, rent and top salary fraction. Free movement of capital out from the west to where the rate of return is higher to raise the rate of return on capital of the capital that stays in the west. Privatisation, competitive tendering, marketisation of state services, derecognition of unions, abolition of national pay bargaining to lower the pay of unionised workers to the "market rate" at the local level, individual contracts, strike bans etc etc to bring back the "free labour market". Benefit cuts, workfare etc to force the drudges to sell their labour. Immigrants to make sure the home workers sell their labour at a lower rather than a higher wage.
