The asparagus temp workers working in Germany pay taxes in Germany for that period. So even if they spend otherwise very little there and send money to families, they are still a net benefit to the German economy. Plus the asparagus gets harvested, of course.

They are on minimum wage, not paying much if anything at all.
You pay VAT on your asparagus.
