Re: False - but necessary scaremongering? (none / 0)

Economic migrants have the least bargaining power because they are the most desperate for a job, while expats are sent abroad to fulfill the needs of the employer so they command a bonus. It's not the fact that you're abroad, but why and how you're abroad.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
