It certainly isn't OK. But even over here in Europe there are jobs - legal, taxed and fully insured jobs - no citizen of the richer country would touch with their fingertips. Cleaning - oh, pardon me - it's called maintanance now when you rub off the shit from a soiled toilet, orderlies at hospitals and nursing the elderly, flipping burgers, bus driving even, only to mention a few of them. Mostly they are done by immigrants from Eastern European countries with hospital work, for some reason being a Philipino domain.
I guess it's the same in the US. The ones bawling at the top of their lungs over restricting immigration would be the first ones to complain if these services were no longer available. Or if they had to stoop to that level of employment.
