    You’re the one advocating for cheap labour without restrictions, how am I the one carrying the flame for the rich? The rich love cheap labour! But yeah, with that dominant ideology among left parties, no wonder the popular classes vote far-right…

      You’re assuming all immigrants are cheap labor. I know which political ideology you lean towards.

      Hint: Expats are immigrants and so are foreign nationals from the US, Italy or Australia in any European country that isn’t Italy.

        I just gave you the example of house prices in Lisbon, and those are not being pulled up by cheap labour, but uncontrolled migration also means cheap labor.

        And no, a EU citizen in another EU country is not an immigrant. But an American digital nomad in Lisbon yes, is indeed an immigrant.

        Also, advocating for limits and policies that regulate migration doesn’t mean being against it all together. It’s not a yes or no question, precisely what I’ve been trying to say since the first comment.
