They thrive because they sleep 15 to a house...and 15 minimum wage earners in one place is a hefty chunk of money. Every so often around here, on the news you hear about how they discover some single family house with two bedrooms sleeping 13 or 14 people. They all live in a family unit(cousins, siblings and the like) so they just have to send one envelope back. When you come from a third world country, squalor with an automobile and color TV doesn't seem so bad. Plus, they work hard because they know they are expendable.
