If the wages are so low that the workers require government assistance, that business isn't productive enough to be allowed to survive in a modern economy. It doesn't produce enough (or its owners demand too much of the rewards, or its customers arent willing to pay, the "reason" is immaterial, those all basically are the same problem). The customers and shareholders aren't entitled to unlimited immigration to prop up their unproductive business model at the cost of the taxpayer. True progressives would seek to raise the living standards of the working poor over importing a slave caste to do the work leaving wages stagnant or in decline.
