Swedish PM hires illegal immigrant. What is the lesson? One Swedish PM was discovered to be hiring a Latvian girl as house help. The lesson we take form this is that there is a market for services that foreigners can provide and they should legally work in this market. But who can afford a Czech nanny or a Guatemalan driver or gardener is the upper class in the developed countries. The J6P there would be up in arms if they would know that the rich had a gardener, driver, nanny and cook steward. (And I can tell you it is very good to have those helpers :-) So they have to keep this picture that everyone is equal and don't give the rights for the people who want to work to come and do it legally. "Students" visa have been granted as a loophole for all kinds of necessities. (I was in Germany advising people under a visa saying I was from a Brazilian Siemens affiliated under a on-the-job-training program!!)"Student" visa are used for those people seeking to provide those services for the ones that can afford. It is all about hypocrisy we know that already. Hence I advocate mass migration for those people to fulfill the market needs. Now, if the governments prefer to pay their people to stay at home doing nothing -as unemployed and unemployable- and block the ones who have the drive to work it is their problem. But how long they can do that I can assure you it is not going to be for much longer.
