Have you considered that those foreigners are humans, too?
Or do you believe in out-of-sight-is-out-of-mind?

Mass migration would bring their wages _up_, not down. That's why they would migrate.

Well, if you let people migrate easily and legally, they wouldn't be easier to exploit than native workers.
Of course they are humans like everybody else. But I do not support mass migration as a tool for bringing the wages further down and exploiting workers. I think the rich should be taxed much more, and that money used to reduce poverty & improve education globally. It's not migration itself that is the problem, but the fact many migrants are in a position where they can be exploited more easily than native workers.
In ideal world businesses would have to pay a fair livable wage, no matter where they build factories, or receive migrants from.
