1. Importing cheap labor is more common than you think!

The UK needs immigrants! (To work as cheap labor.)

Australia needs open borders as soon as possible: mainly backpackers, students from Asia. Restaurant meals don't serve themselves up, nor does produce pick itself. Then there are the Universities, crying out for foreign student money!

And look at America! Imported free labor from Africa centuries ago, they were there just for the taking, so why not?
More recently - able bodied workers from south of the border, just don't mind asking for paperwork about them being legitimately in the country!
Home reno shows - the white home owner talks to the white foreman on camera, the actual workers don't show their faces on camera, nor mutter a word.
I wonder why?

I guess paying decent wages to attract locals to work low skill jobs is too much to ask?

But sure, Brexit will make beer cheaper (reasons unexplained) but you may need to serve it up yourself.
Oh, want food with that? Kitchen is over there! DIY!
