There are people out there who take full advantage of migrant workers. When I did a mine refurbishment in a small country town with 50 permanent residents, the company I worked for put 10 of us up in an old pub. The publican had 2 Irish backpacker girls cleaning the pub and doing one afternoon shift every week in trade for one room in the pub. During the day they would pick pawpaws on a local farm for less than $5 an hour. The same farmer owned one of the only restaurants in the town and we started to speak and he told me that he paid the beginners $2 an hour.
