Dregs of the Earth

The lowest of the low, the detritus at the bottom of humanity, often consigned to slums, shanty towns and favelas, often hard working, under-compensated, uneducated, overlooked and generally despised or at best pitied by those better off.
From the comfort of his Park Avenue apartment, the capitalist referred to the people working in his lucrative factory in Mexico as "the dregs of the Earth."
