In this example, undocumented workers are a source of "cheap labor", without them fruits would rot in the fields, toddlers wouldn't have nannies, towels would go unlaundered and trays would go uncollected.

This is an example of one of the functions of poverty where the poor people have no other choice than to do the "dirty work" that other people would not want to do and also, these activities benefit upper classes who do not have to worry about those things.
