      2/It seems as though they're preventing inflo, but the _net_ effect is preventing the outflow of talent.

      3/A more paranoid person might argue this as the real point of the exercise: Keep talented people locked in their lands of birth.

      4/Don't like the government, or the jobs, or whatever? Tough luck. You're stuck there. Capital will be mobile while talent is locked down.

      5/This is the Information Age equivalent of the acts that turned peasants into serfs simply by pwning their lands to a lord.

      .@mpesce yes, that's exactly what's happening. Anti-immigrant propaganda is being used to justify the modern recreation of serfdom.

      If immigration clampdown is global, everyone is trapped in their own nation. Except the ultra-rich (google "investors visa" for details).

      If you have money to invest you can get a visa almost anywhere but North Korea. If you have only your labour? You're trapped.

      This allows free movement of capital to pursue profits wherever (captive) labour is cheapest. (Imperialism, per Marx, in its purest form.)

      Brexit, Trumpism, etc—is part of an economic imperialist push to maximize profit extraction from labour units (us), avoiding accountability.

      If you vote for restrictions on immigration you are, in the long term, potentially cutting your throat.

      i wonder if there's some characteristic of a world where capital can move freely and people are stuck where they are that'd be bad somehow

          Yeah, oh, like feudalism was *great* (if you were a duke or a king). Not so goo for the peasants or serfs, tho.
