It seems as if mass foreign migrations, often illegal, usually benefit management. Labor supply and demand is comparable to product supply and demand. international trade agreements exist to prevent dumping of product that would harm foreign management/investors, yet politicians and some clerics reinforce dumping of migrant labor that is harmful to labor supply in the nation receiving the migrants. Since the world isn’t primarily a commune and ‘rich countries’ aren’t either and instead have real supply and demand capital systems, moving large numbers of poor workers to ‘rich nations’ simply harms labor values locally and globally.
Economic and social theorists ought not be so intellectually disingenuous as to ignore the perennial intervention in labor market value with that result in dumping cheap migrant labor. capitalism is not really then given a chance to work as it should with so much ‘goaltending’ keeping labor value as low as possible politically.
The slowest to improve the plight of the poor is the result of effective imperial quality politics driving international mass migrations. The way capitalism is supposed to work is that when the labor market tightens in a nation wages go up. Management that wants cheap labor move their factory to a country with cheap labor supply and the poor in that country have better lives. Because relocating factories can be costly there is a certain degree of social stability as management/investors are recalcitrant about moving. A stable society and population has less crime and better prospects for education and compilation of micro-capital. The costs of government are less with social stability, zero unemployment and excellent wages.
Imperialist prefer social chaos and confusion with low or no wages, cheap labor supply and poverty with political power and wealth concentrated. Creating political situations that cause mass migrations accelerates conditions harmful to labor and of benefit to management. Generally lawlessness and disorder harms the poor more than the rich Orderly progress with rational expectations support hope for a better life.
Because some would perhaps confuse the state of Christians being free from the law and given to live by the spirit, in the modern context, I will note that the law that Christians are free from is not contemporary civil law, but the Jewish laws that existed in ancient Israel. Those laws could be inaccurately complied with even without the right spiritual relationship to God. Jesus Christ enabled those of faith in the Lord to live in the spirit and fulfill all the requirements of the law through the saving grace of Jesus Christ, the Father and Holy Spirit. The destruction of the Jewish temple in 70 A.D. by the Romans accentuated the point. The ancient laws and sacrifices at the temple had been surpassed.
Christians are obligated to obey civil law except where it conflicts with laws of God as given in scripture. Jesus said to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God things that belong to God. Plainly that has more than one meaning, for Christians belong to God, and the lost belong to the world.
The word for land or earth was pronounced 'gay' in ancient Greek (spelled GE). The temporal experience and the land comprising it that the unsaved lust after isn't heaven, and the experience of it won't go on forever. While the worldly are spiritually dead and must live under the law, except so far as they choose not to as anarchists, it isn't the ancient Jewish law that they must live under; it is that of the civil government where they are. Laws in a democracy are the property of the people, made by and for the people, until the laws are corrupted by power, or the people themselves become corrupt and incapable of making and enacting just law. Spiritual correctness prevailing in a society requires fewer laws; love one's neighbor as thyself.
It is possible for governments and donors to provide training and emergency help to poor nations in order to allow them to help themselves. Yet when cheap labor travels to ‘rich nations’ to expand the labor supply and lower wages there is less need to look abroad for cheap labor to exploit. Exploiting cheap labor is the imperial way-that is what slavery in the America was about after all-importing slaves was made illegal very soon in the history of the U.S.A. as a democracy.
The longest path to ending planetary poverty runs through a perpetuation of shifting mass cheap labor about from country to country. Destroying social structures in poor countries that do exist will require extra time and cost to bring into a stable state of order in they ever attain a better standard of living. Like military units with a stable history being disinclined to perpetuate war crimes in comparison to newly formed and irregular forces, civil societies that are made into ghettos or destabilized and made to lose many to emigration are challenging to restore to a stable condition. Shifting about of mass migrations of labor in the modern context perpetuates rather than relieves poverty. Imperialists welcome cheap labor and degradation of civil equality.
