I'm an immigrant to the UK. No-one exploited me. I had a choice of lots of countries to go to (EU passport) and chose the UK voluntarily.

Not every immigrant is doing hard labor for minimum wage or less... Those are the exploited ones, not people hanging on HN.

I worked as a barman, a shelf stacker, a fruit picker, a stock picker (I mean the guy at the back of the warehouse stacking trolleys with orders) before I transitioned to software.

I was on minimum wage. I wasn't exploited, it was a means to an end.

I don't think you would really care about me as an individual. I think you just didn't want my type here.
