Most foreign workers producing stuff for Western countries are hardly paid slave wages. Yeah, they could be paid better and be given some benefits (there is always room for improvement), but it's not like they are barely subsisting.

The charity plea isn't very practical ("The working conditions are horrible! You can't pay them $1/hour to do what you pay an American $5/hour for!") You also can't go into a developing country and start paying workers ridiculous amounts of money in relation to what their own currency is worth. You would do way more harm than good.
