I can explain the difference between now and 45 plus years ago.
Years ago, people came to do specific jobs ie pick fruit and veg then at the end of the season go home or move on to another country where there is work. Indeed, between college and Uni grape picking in Italy, earn a bit of cash was the thing to do. Nowadays, the pickers can bring their families who then demand homes and also because of low wage, tax credits and so it goes on. Here in Portugal we have noted that the country are bringing in pickers from India, S E Asian counties etc. Why? The pickers from here are all over Europe living and picking there because they can earn more. Something, somewhere has gone terribly wrong.
