They don't pay taxes yet they always get some basic needs and enjoy them as locals. In that sense they have an advantage. So no point in complaining about wages or income. If not happy then don't work. Just go back. Immigrants are invaders who make life difficult for those in that country by avoiding the opportunity for locals. Just stop making noise and get back to work or get out......simple as that
