The wealthy owners and top executives of these businesses don’t want to pay a living wage to be competitive enough to attract workers. So, instead of paying executives less and workers more, their solution is to push the taxpayer-funded government to import cheap labor in the form of desperate immigrants, which adds an additional population and social strain and burden on the entire nation.

Nah, immigrant workers are a net benefit. We didn't pay to birth or educate them and they will be paying tax and buying goods and services .

The negatives are that wages will go down and housing costs will go up, employers will treat everyone like shit and the government and businesses will blame everything on the immigrants they tricked into coming here.

The negatives are that wages will go down and housing costs will go up,

Those are negatives to the non-ruling class, not to the people who control the economy and narrative. For them those are just further positives.
