I work with immigrants at a laundry/cleaners. The best coworkers I could ever have. They are proud of the work they do, they respect honest work ethic. It’s an honor to work along side. I wish there was more regulation preventing predatory fraudsters & conmen targeting us.

Wow. You have to appreciate the efficiency. But that is back breaking work.

“Unskilled labor” is a lie used to exploit workers.
