I am also fairly certain that there was a BBC one about the dire lives of Brazilian factory workers in Japan.
I`ll try to find the names.

Sadly, I think people get the impression that how Chinese or SE Asian immigrants are generally seen applies to all immigrants. An English teacher from London doesn't see himself as an "immigrant" and isn't treated as one. An undocumented worker from the Eastern hemisphere is not seen or treated the same way as an invited and visa carrying temporary one year visa English teacher.
