Latina Lista: Day Laborers’ Partnership with AFL-CIO Extends Recognition to Immigrant Labor

“Every time I hear the argument that undocumented immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens, I always ask, donde? (where?)

I’m not stupid. I know there are employers out there who want to make a profit in taking advantage of people who will work for anything compared to those who won’t settle for less than minimum wage.

But in the one place where there should be fistfights over jobs, and where I could see the truth in the statement that the undocumented are literally taking jobs away from American citizens, there is nothing, nada!”
