In short, everyone benefits from "cheap labour" whether directly or indirectly, except those who provide the "cheap labour", because they are being exploited. Why do you think almost everything is made in China, India and many other poor countries these days for items that we use in our daily lives, including "call centres". In order to pay taxes, they need to be legal and paid decent salary, so those cockle pickers that drowned, were victims of "Capitalist Greed", because it was cheaper to have them in that predicament, than having them making a decent earning to have a decent life.
We are benefiting all the time from "cheap labour", but who cares about those who have been exploited.
EVERYONE has choice. they chose to take jobs that pay small wages. i don't know what is available in other countires, but here in USA, there are ways to better yourself for free. you just have to want to do it. no one twists the arms of the immigrant illegals to come into my country and take low paying jobs.
P.S. SORRY!--i posted this before i read the entire thread....sometimes i just have to "strike when the iron's hot," as the saying goes.
