Not to the core, just a bit. Mass migration is about bringing in a lower-wage workforce. This depresses wages for the lower 40% of a population. Lowering their tax contributions and spending powers. Rising profits for the big corporations. It also puts unneeded pressure on the housing markets, education, Healthcare, policing, etc. It creates more problems than it ever solves. This is without the cultural impact it has.
As more companies automate or/and send jobs to the Third World, replacing someone on a Western Wage by someone on a Third World wage. There is no gain in buying power for the West as the West loses jobs and buying power.
This has been EU policy from the beginning and it continues to be their policy. Except for the UK. Who it will punish and make the EU poorer to make sure no other country dares to think about breaking away from its grip. The UK is the EUs biggest single export market.
But they have people like Thommy fooled who thinks a Thai factory worker is going to be buying as many German goods as a German factory worker and the more people spending money in the system. That only applies if the extra people put in their own money. Which they clearly do not.
The only thing keeping the EU dream alive is massive borrowing. Should that end or slow down, see Greece for an example of what happens.
