This is a false dichotomy. Employers can't find the staff they need at the wages they are willing to pay. Immigrants are the scapegoat, not the solution.

For employers it can also be a solution, since you can pay them whatever and trust that they can't go to the authorities about it or won't join unions and so on

That's the point. Obviously having an ever expanding underclass that can be exploited with no risk is preferable to paying workers more.
