These are connected, however unpalatable it sounds. The single 
prevailing reason for the mass people movements, voluntary or 
involuntary, in the last few centuries, since governments had solid 
means of closing the borders, is to lower the local wages and increase 
profits, thus the local workforce (with decent wages and comfortable 
middleclass lifestyle) did vanish, but it is a consequence, not the cause.

With upcoming automation the population import is becoming a moot point, 
so the immigration will eventually stop. Industries that are still 
supporting immigration are the ones on the losing side.
