I happened to see a BBC report about a textile company in Romania that was importing "temporary" workers from China because they claimed they couldn't get Romanian workers. The socially left-wing corporatist BBC naturally presented this as a positive development, but I was appalled. This a perfect example of putting the welfare of business ahead of the welfare of the people. If the company cannot fill the positions at the wages they're offering, they should raise them. If they truly cannot, then their company doesn't make economic sense. If they go out of business, their Romanian employees will find other jobs easily given the putative labour shortage. Why shouldn't Romania import "temporary" workers? Well, for one thing, history has shown that "temporary" workers are anything but, and "labour shortages" are transient. Western Europe imported millions of "temporary" workers from North Africa during the post-World War 2 "labour shortage". The result is that they and their descendents have colonised Western Europe, are a welfare drain, and the largest source of crime, violence, and fanaticism in Western Europe. Secondly, it is a form of colonisation. Labour shortages result in higher wages, which result in married couples being able to afford more children. By importing foreigners, who keep wages down and costs for things like housing up, native children are reduced in number. It's no coincidence that Western Europe has the world's lowest birth rate even as it has imported millions of immigrants. Thirdly, it keeps the economy backward. Labour shortages provide impetus for industries to automate away undesirable and/or low value added jobs. Look at Japan. It has turned to automation instead of importing workers and its per capita income has continued to grow and its technical leadership has been largely maintained. People have long speculated as to why the Roman Empire never developed an industrial revolution, despite many technical skills not recovered until as late as the 18th century and a large, scientifically curious class unencumbered by religious dogma, the omnipresent use of the cheapest of labour, slavery, removed incentive to use labour saving technology. Perhaps Romania could take those wages paid to the Chinese workers, much of which will leave the country, and use them to automate instead? Unfortunately, Romania has come under the thumb of the EU, dominated by a socially left-wing corporatist ideology that wants immigration, wants colonisation of Romania and other countries, as a result of racist, left-wing ideology that holds the native population of Europe in contempt and a desire for cheap, compliant labour. They will use the false pretext of "rights" to force Romania to allow the "temporary" workers to colonise Romania permanently. The patriotic businesses and organisations, media, government, and people of Romania must fight the colonisation of their country. They must stop immigration there.
