I don't think there's any evidence that there's any real political calculus going on with these motions. Are you really suggesting that they want to and will restrict immigration, but won't say anything about it? That really doesn't make a whole lot of sense, as the only reason to even talk about immigration is for the political benefit. There's no real practical justification for significantly reducing immigration far below its current level if we want to maintain labor force growth.
