To add, propaganda and legal policy around immigration and border policy always has to do with capitalists demand for labor, and their ability to socially control the groups they'ved turned into migrants.

When there's a labor shortage, immigrants are welcomed. When that shortage goes away, or is only needed in smaller amounts, they restrict immigration via the law, and demonize them publicly.
