Simo Grönroos criticized the discussion in A-Studio about the National Coalition Party's immigration policy as contradictory. According to him, Kopra said that labor immigration should not burden the public finances, but that businesses should not be told who they can hire from abroad. Grönroos asked if this meant allowing the hiring of cheap labor even when it burdened public finances. According to Grönroos, Kopra stated that the National Coalition Party was willing to reconsider the minimum income threshold for labor immigration but would not raise it. Grönroos viewed this as contradictory to statements regarding the burden on public finances. He also claimed that although only an exceedingly small portion of immigration consisted of high-paid specialists, Kopra considered cheap labor from abroad as high-paid. Grönroos wrote that as the elections approached, the National Coalition Party was trying to attract anti-immigration voters with rhetorical initiatives, although according to him, the party's policy remained aligned with open borders. #maahanmuutto #poliikka #työvoima (translated)
