My apologies if this post is not considered relevant.
Ultimately, it is in the interests of a government to increase GDP. In effect, GDP is the amount of money being spent by the population of the country.
Why is the government pro immigration? The more immigrants (particularly from more 'r selected' cultures whom will produce more children) there are, the higher the population will be. The higher the population, the more money being spent. The more money being spent, the higher the GDP. The higher the GDP, the more money individuals in governments will make.
Immigrants require money to live on. There are two avenues by which immigrants will receive money. One is by having a job. This will make the job market more competitive, and reduce quality of life for all workers. The second is via government assistance (welfare, benefits). The growth of the welfare state encourages government dependence. It also assures money is constantly being spent (increasing GDP).
Being a home owner will not increase GDP. It will increase an individuals net worth, but as they will most likely be saving money to afford the home, they will not be spending money regularly as one might with rent or a mortgage. As such whilst it is in the interests of an individual to own a home, it is not in the interests of the government. I also refer you to inheritance tax, in which the government is taxing any individuals who wish for their children (or others) to inherit their home. I am making this point to evidence my belief that the government does not care about the quality of life of the individual citizen.
The government would prefer its citizens be dependent. Thus they are forcibly closing small businesses.
Small businesses are a threat to government dependence. They also do not assure the government the same amount of money circulated as a big company. The governments would rather have several large businesses monopolise the market . Your local pub or gym has stricter hygiene and distancing measures in place than the local factory for a large business, yet whilst the pub or gym will be closed, the factory will remain open as before. The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer. GDP will increase, and quality of life will fall.
