We had the exact same situation in my own country: our government suddenly decided to triple minimum wage, to triple taxes. A lot of small businesses were closed because of this sudden change. We had protests, but they are too late. Sadly, US embassy did not help us.

I never understood the logic behind the claim “X wants to keep Y” down. How does keeping any country “down” benefit anyone? It doesn’t. It hurts society even more.

The solution is easy: make immigration easier.

That's the rub. We want to "help" just not like that. Lol.

Not in my backyard, right.
