Exploitation means using desperation in people to force them into agreeing to do low paying work or other desperate acts.
The U.S, the EU, and Canada are largely responsible for destabilizing many other countries and inciting civil wars and genocides.
When civilian people from those countries, people who have no responsibility for the state of their home countries, attempt to leave to find a better life. You say they are exploiting the countries they move to.
It’s those same countries who made the immigrants home country inhospitable.
The amount of money spent on welfare is pennies compared to money spent on weapons and gifts of money to Israel. And all the tax cuts and tax loop holes they keep giving to billionaires who hoard wealth.
Investing in people helps them get out of poverty and give back.
Some times those investments take a generation to show the benefits. But it’s there.
That said, it’s important that welfare money is spent in ways to help people. Job training. Housing. Food. Education. And it’s balanced so that it’s not a better living to stay on it.
Like in the U.S. If you are on disability welfare. Let’s say you get $1000 a month. This is not a living wage.
So you get a part time job. You can’t work full time because of your disability but maybe you could do 20 hrs a week.
But if you do, you lose your disability welfare.
You won’t make more working 20 hrs a week than the welfare check. And you would also lose health insurance.
So this discourages people from working who could work part time.
This is a flaw with the system. Not the people who are forced to play by the rules and choose the best option.
Likewise. You can’t hold it against people fleeing from an inhospitable country , that your country had a hand in making inhospitable, to go somewhere they have the best chance of making it in.
I think you are using the word exploited wrong.

There is some evidence to suggest cooperation permeated early human society with competition following from the shift to patriarchy.
Strong evidence.
Humans are safest, healthiest, and happiest when we live in harmony and help each other.
We are highly social. We thrive when we work with each other.
