...migrants are allowed to enter the 'host' countries only insofar as they are needed in the labor force. Most migrants are men in their twenties and thirties, since the immigration authorities discourage them from bringing in their families. Rigorous medical examinations exclude all but the healthiest applicants. Once he has arrived, the migrant lives segregated from native workers--in barrack-like compounds in West Germany; in overcrowded shantytowns in France. Victimized by sleep merchants (housing profiteers), and endangered by unfamiliar machinery, the migrant also has no political rights to speak of--he can be deported at any time...

Similarly, because migrants are not allowed to bring in their families, the 'host' country saves the cost of public facilities such as housing, schooling, hospitals, and welfare benefits.

...healthiest sales cities was Pittsburgh, where Christmas week retail business was a solid 33% greater than the year before. The prime reason is that steel-industry demand and employment remains strong, and steelworkers have been protected against the erosion in buying power that afflicted most other wage earners in 1974 by the cost of living escalators they won in their union contracts early last year. Says Lawrence Finley, a local Gimbel's executive: "Psychologically, the attitude here is bullish. Even the Steelers are winning...
