Sure as long as those immigrants are paying taxes and have come here legally. What about the millions of illegal immigrants coming that want public education for their children, want access to public services? Are they not draining us (tax paying American's) resources as well?
For the people living in these towns their choice was work in the mill or have no job at all. The mill WAS the town. At most maybe 2-3 mills in a given area and the owners of those mills were organized otgether to keep working conditions horrible. The same thing happened in the North as well (read The Jungle). Without some kind of group with power to represent workers companies will walk all over their employees.
Yes, governments or some power (Unions perhaps) need to be a counter force against the companies in situations like that.
Look at the mill towns that sprang up in the South during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Working conditions there were horrible. Those people knew of the situation they were getting into as well. They had no choice.
