itīs not ONLY what you have mentioned - there is a lot more.
i saw it here in thailand when the military regime took action against the illegal construction helpers from cambodia and laos. they were of the opinion that there are enough workers for it in thailand itself. now, however, even a thai with a minimum wage of 300 dollars increases the construction costs to such an extent that the houses and flats could no longer be sold.
the result after one year was that hundreds of construction companies went bankrupt. thousands of thais who had a job with the sale, organization and management of these properties became unemployed.
after one year these foreign workers were taken back to the country with a bonus and the police are instructed not to carry out any more checks regarding work permits and legal residency.
and this is only the construction biz. it would be even mess when they would do the same in agriculture and farming (what are thailandīs biggest export goods).
the right wingers do not understand how cheap labor and unbalance of prosperity INSIDE AND OUTSIDE helps them to survive and makes product affordable.
at the end it is not how much money you make - it is how much you can buy for it. if it is less it means that prosperity is decreasing. and this is what they are calling for when they do not understand on what factors and influences worldwide economies are based.
