“It’s hard to hear people not understand why we want better treatment. Their simple answer is getting another job. It’s not that easy for me, especially because I am undocumented in this country. My answer to them is, it’s not the only option I have but it is the closest to my reach, and it’s my hands that harvest the food you eat.”
