CMV: left-wing people should be against mass migration, even more than the right.

I would say that I’m fairly left-wing in many of my views, but it’s never made any sense to me why leftists ignore and understate the left-wing argument against mass migration.
Mass migration predominantly benefits businesses, because workers from cheaper countries will generally work for less money than their native counterparts,, this forces wages down for everyone and severely limits the power of unions, since any striking workers can just be fired and replaced with new ones.
The counter argument I hear sometimes is that eventually the immigrants will align with the native workers to demand higher wages and better working conditions, but I don’t understand how this is possible.
To be frank, a Polish taxi driver can make much more money in the UK than he can in Poland doing the same job, I don’t see him jeopardising that to stand in solidarity with working-class people in the UK.
Many right-wing parties, which are essentially at this point mouthpieces for big business, claim to be tough on immigration but in reality they are not.
Consider, there were more migrants coming to the UK under the government of Boris Johnson than there were before, though he claimed to be quite tough on that, but he knew more migration means lack of power for workers, it’s simple supply and demand.

But this isn't a problem with the migrants, it's a problem with the cooperations, using people who wants to work for way less, so they hire them instead. What you are doing in your statement, is dividing the working class, and pitting them against themselves, even though the problem lies solely on the capital class, underpaying workers.
