They have a thriving trade in the export of slave labour to countries they ‘trust’ in order to get hard currency.

Vice (the website) has an excellent documentary on the subject . This is a report from CNN:

As correctly stated, no North Korean citizen may leave his country without the specific approval of the North Korean government, and this is not given on any humanitarian grounds but on evidence that the individual is a reliable servant of the state.

That China promotes this traffic is another source of worry.

How about the fact that this is not about ‘stealing jobs’ but about North Korea sneaking in through the back door with the help of Taghna Lkoll?

I insist that a way to cut short all this cheap labour stuff is to legislate that all extra communitarian employees’ pay cheque is issued through the Employment and Training Corporation. That way, no one will employ a foreigner just so to pay him anything less than minimum wage.
