Caporegime
Indeeeeeed look at California and the border States of the USA all migrant labour working for pitance with dodgy employment laws if any.
The effect of the minimum wage which has created the arbitrage.
I was quite shocked recently at this reality when I paid a visit to a gym in Chelmsford. Each morning outside was a group of 20 or so workers waiting to be picked up for work. All migrants waiting to to be picked up for causual labour work.
I remember seeing this on something, I can't remember what it was though, just that it was set in America. I never thought it actually happened for real.![]()

Neither did I. I only when I saw a van pull up and a bloke just pilled a few in back and drove off I realised.
It happens more often that people realise, especially in casual labour markets.
One could also argue that the free movement of labour throughout Europe created this situation too because without the cheap source the situation you highlight could not have been created.
I think they should execute Jeremy Kyle before reforming the welfare state this much we can agree on.

I am confused, we keep hearing that there are no jobs out there when it appears clearly not to be the case.
Why can immigrants find work yet the natives can't?
This, plus they come with less tattoos, better education and manners.
Fewer tattoos.

The problem is particularly exacerbated for young people, the pervasive nature of multi-culturalism means that we have spawned a generation who speak Multicultural London English (MLE) which put off employers who will generally be from the middle classes. I have to wonder if someone who speaks Polish with a lower class accent would put off potential employers in this country?
In recent times we've seen more and more businesses relocate away from expensive towns and cities to out of town locations. So unless you're recruited via an agency and get nearby accommodation set up for you, how do you get there if you live 5, 10, 20 miles away and are young and the job is minimum wage? Can't drive because insurance premiums are too expensive, train fares are too expensive and only go to the centre of towns and cities, bus services to these places are infrequent or non-existent or being cut, cycling is dangerous and you'll probably have your bike nicked anyway.

Where this jobs openly advertised?
I think thats a lot of the problem with the jobs market, is you need to sign up with multiple job agencies and a lot of the time if you fall foul of them you will be locked out of employment. Want to fix the native unemployment level? Outlaw job agencies, have all employers by law advertise all job vacancies in the local papers or benefits office. At the moment job agencies have a monopoly on the jobs market.
You mean we have a problem with the youth wanting to adopt an LA 'gangsta' style to life in both dress, attitude and speach because they think its cool. That is predominantly a parenting / schooling failure if the youth of today want to emulate predominantly 'black gangster' culture.
Are you really blaming the likes of Monster.com ?
... they can get away with paying them minimum wage because the wages in their own country are ****.
Yep, the white man has become the black man as David Starkey said. This isn't a parenting/schooling problem, it's society's problem.
If you were operating a business, would you rather pay more to employ native workers?

Where do you draw the line though? The government are currently planning to build the HS2 line from London to Manchester. It would be significantly cheaper to get Chinese labourers to do the unskilled work, like how they built the railways in the USA. If you were the government would you allow that?
Government funded projects - no I would use native workers due to the inherent politics involved.
Private sector - I would use whichever represented the best economic value.
Doesn't sound like a recipe for social harmony to me.
