To postulate that the situation is more or less than that is crap, plain and simple.

Precisely the point I am making in a new thread. Tackle the root cause (unscrupulous employers taking advantage of immigrants legal and illegal) to change the effects (low wages, fearful immigrants, tax evasion, unequal job safety, under reporting job injuries to avoid workers comp, etc.). It is corporations that are driving down the working standard not the immigrants. They are just the pawns (as are the working class) in this corporate game.
