na, its about cheap labour and high housing prices, its worth far more than what they would consume, its not just about cheap labour though, its about keeping the price of labour low, fruit picking in england is the perfect example, they could not get British people to work in those conditions for the pay on offer so they flew in a few plane loads of migrant workers, this was during the first lock down too, rather than offering better conditions or more money its cheaper for them to ship in a plane load of migrant workers
