Man if only there was some sort of united group of workers who could work together to enforce minimum standards of pay and working conditions. We could call it something snappy, like a Job Combination or something, it could be really neat.

Where I live there is a lot of immigrants -myself included- but very few undeclared workers, protecting employees and avoiding wage dumping. How did that happen?
Employers risk huge fines and jail times for employing people illegally. One really has to be an asshole to blame an immigrant taking any job they can in the hope of getting a better life rather than the people exploiting them to make more money and avoid respecting labor laws.
Edit: to clarify, I'm not living in the US. I live in Switzerland. That's how it works here.
A capitalist tycoon, a worker and an immigrant are sat at a table with 100 cookies. The tycoon takes 99 and says to the the worker, "careful, that immigrant is going to take your cookie".
