Yes, and it annoys me every time Americans accuse China of having unfair working conditions that allow them to compete with US. In the US if the illegal immigrant workers (who have no rights at all ) were all removed, the US economy and industry would collpase and could not function or remotely succeed without this huge army of low paid, anonymous workers. Some companies, if a Mexican dies on the job due to bad safety and training, the body is just returned to the family or relatives nearby, and another Mexican is brought in to replace him...also without adequate training or protections or rights.
