You can't think of a direct route? Try the obvious ones: Who cuts their hair? Who fixes their car? Sells them groceries? It's even more obvious for legal immigrants.
What's wrong with a general economic boom?

I'm not convinced that the increased demand for haircuts will outpace the wage loss that came with increased competition for that job.
