And I thought about it. And so that advertisement that was there was because they needed more people to grow their economy. In about 1971. they gave up on this mission to some degree. and they changed their policy to allow immigrants to come in from Southeast Asia. Now. how does this work politically? We can learn from these lessons here in the United States of America. and that is that it was big business that wanted the labor to come in. and it was labor unions that wanted to keep the labor out because they understood something In Australia as far as back as 1971 that there was a law of supply and demand. That law of supply and demand seems to be missing from the rationale of the people who oppose enforcement of our rule of law with regard to immigration. They do not seem to understand that when we have an oversupply of labor. that drives the price down and that labor is a commodity. like where I come from. corn and beans or cattle and hogs. or gold or oil if you come from another part of the world. or currency. It fluctuates In the marketplace according to supply and demand. So the island. or I should call it the large continent. and it actually is. the large continent of Australia did not have that option of being able to run open borders and let millions come in to drive their wage price down. They actually had to fight the politics out inside Australia and adopt a policy that brought in immigrants from Southeast Asia and other parts of the world to fill their labor supply. The pressure got great enough that they came up with an economic solution. Well.
