the scabs are immigrants wanting a better life and willing to take a lower pay than they are worth for the opportunity

Thing about being a scab is you're in an even more precarious position than the original worker. Your job goes away the minute the strike ends, and your right to be in the country along with it.

What you've taken is a zero hour temp job with more duties and virtually no training, specifically to undermine someone else's effort to win a raise.

This is slavery with extra steps. . . .

The end goal of any capitalist enterprise is to maximize profits. And zeroing out labor costs is part of that.
