The Hill
- Today, I want to talk about two important words: Hard Work.
I want to talk about the men and women who clear the dishes in restaurants. The man who supports his family by working as a janitor. The women bent over sewing machines making our clothes — the women caring for America’s children – the families picking America’s fruit.
It’s hard work. Yet immigrants come to our nation to work at dangerous and sometimes demeaning jobs, to face the risk of discrimination and deportations.
They come to do hard work.
On TV news, we don’t see many pictures of the immigrant sweeping the floor in the hospital or caring for a sick child.
But we see lots of pictures of scary invaders jumping over fences. Of prisoners in handcuffs.
