“They are undocumented Latino workers tending manicured lawns in River Oaks and building new Houston homes. They are women, born in El Salvador and Africa, who tend our children every day. They pay taxes. Many have families and have been contributing members of our communities for years. We rely on their labor each and every day.

Yet their basic rights ”” the right to a minimum wage, to a safe workplace and fair treatment ”” are routinely trampled upon, undermining basic standards. This exploitation hurts all of us, foreign- and native-born alike. An overhaul of our nation’s broken immigration laws is long overdue.”
