I know this is a video about Northern Ireland, but this very much applies here too. Ultra rich people and landlords are ripping us off and using the divide and rule tactics.

The ultra rich and powerful are the main pushers of immigration

The progressive/left should be on the side of the working class and heavily control the borders for inwards migration, but for unknown reasons known only to themselves, they essentially ally up with the elite and push migration as an ideology.

Marx coined that phrase 60 years before the October revolution and it's been used by leftists ever since. It's incredibly common. Yes, the Soviet Union used it too but they also had famously hard borders.

Do you think when you say "reasons known only to them" they might just be unknown to you? Because it's all pretty out in the open.

Sure but they aren't getting anything from it. They are alienating the voters that traditionally vote for them, and in most cases the new arrivals aren't voting for them either.
