Veteran farmworker paralegal bridges two worlds – Raul Barrera
Posted on: June 4th, 2007“As Congress debates the future of guest workers, Raul Barrera will quietly do what he has always done – hop in his Ford pickup, drive to remote work camps and make sure those workers already here get paid what they were promised.
Barrera has been traveling these back roads since before most of the men he offers legal assistance to were born. At 71, hes worked in half a dozen states and tried unsuccessfully to retire at least three times from his job as a farmworker paralegal.
“Its in my blood. Its what I was born into,” he says simply.”
