No, because money is the only thing that measures value. People vote against their interests all the time.

Again, how is money supposed to measure value here? Are people supposed to look into whether every company interacts with immigrants in any way and then boycott them if they do? The only avenue I see is for people to look at the aggregate economic benefits of immigration and then decide to limit it anyway, effectively treating the opportunity cost as the price they're willing to pay.
Money measures value numerically. Yes.

This is hideous, and can't really be interfaced with as a human.
