Okay again.

I do not see benefits of lax immigration policies. I support selective immigration. If a country is in need of a few skilled individuals that is completely okay. But to just accept anyone, especially to do less paid jobs (or even worse, to let them live on the state's social support) just because your own people do not wish to do it, that is stupid and could be even considered as an exploitation.

So... the unwashed masses are okay, as long as we need their skills. So if another country educates and prepares them, us 1st world nations should sweep in an take them and the benefits they create away, consequently taking a job from a skilled native worker? That's not exploitation?

But the economically disadvantaged of another country can't come here and work jobs we wont do? It's exploitative to have them come here and work, that even at the worst levels provides a better lifestyle than they could often hope for in their countries, but that is exploitative?

It may be considered in both cases. The difference that in the first case I see the benefit while in other two cases I do not. Especially in the case when it is about living on the state's social support.

And as it was already stated, the country does not seek for immigrants as you suggested. It is just a matter of selection of those who wish to immigrate.
