Tagged: border“Jesus Jimenez bucks the stereotype of the Mexican construction worker living and working illegally in the United States.
The earnest and soft-spoken 19-year-old, a native of the small Pacific coastal state of Colima, was in Baton Rouge for a few weeks in June. He was one of 10 members of a roving, Texas-based crew helping to pave concrete for a new fast-food restaurant near the intersection of Bluebonnet Road and Burbank Drive.
Jimenez crossed the border into the United States about two years ago. He makes $100 per day, regardless of the difficulty of the job or the hours he puts into it. The work is steady, and he enjoys it.”
