Slaves never got paid, so sensationalizing immigrants does nothing. Ironically, many of the established immigrant construction workers are getting very good at charging outlandish prices after all these years.
But...cultures are different. It's not uncommon for several families to live in what we would consider cramped conditions, as long as they can make ends meet. Because it's STILL much better than the conditions that they left.
So what we consider slave wages actually works out fine for them. We have no idea what it's like to be happy to be gone from the violence and oppression, and being able to keep everything that they earn.
Americans work for slave wages in right to work states, so the argument falls a tad flat.
Fiction.
