All excellent points, a fair assessment of the situation. But, I would also say corporate profits of these firms rely on this low skill desperate labor that cannot organize and will not speak up (versus being shipped back to whatever terrible place they fled from).

I don't have a solution, but I hope smarter people than me with leverage figure it out, because it isn't sustainable.
