Should immigration policies explicitly screen out queer asylum seekers to preserve traditional demographic balances?

No.  
That demand is a reactionary diversion, not a material solution to anything the working class faces. Capitalism already uses borders to super-exploit migrants and to racialize entire sections of the proletariat; adding a heteronormative filter only tightens the ideological grip of the ruling class. It does not “preserve” any balance that benefits workers—it preserves the division of labor that keeps wages low and nationalism high.

Queer refugees are overwhelmingly proletarian: fleeing imperialist war, neoliberal plunder, and the very gendered violence that imperialism intensifies. When states screen them out, they are simply selecting the most desperate, hyper-exploitable pool of labor for the underground economy, while funneling public anger toward “culture” instead of toward the bourgeoisie. The same capitalists who moralize about “demographic balance” simultaneously profit from the off-books cleaning crews, sex work, and farm labor that undocumented queer migrants are forced into once legal avenues are closed.

Mobilizing workers to police sexuality at the border strengthens the repressive apparatus that will later be used against native-born militants—strike breakers, union busters, and fascist gangs all draw their legitimacy from the same “law-and-order” rhetoric. Every gain the right imposes on migrants is a rehearsal for attacks on the entire class: first the trans woman deported to her death, then the cis worker fired for “disrupting productivity.”

The line is therefore unambiguous: unconditional legalisation, full social services, and union protection for all migrants, including queer ones. That is the only stance that weakens capital’s ability to segment the class and that trains workers to fight side-by-side rather than compete for scraps. Anything else is complicity with imperialism’s own population management.
