"Today's migrant worker: life in shadows of opulence" by Megan Woolhouse, Globe Staff | December 3, 2008
Julian Aleman spends winters in Myrtle Beach or Boca Grande. He summers in Nantucket and Kennebunkport. And while his journeys might sound like a glitzy advertisement off the pages of a travel magazine, his lifestyle is not in the least about leisure.
While he follows the sun and the money, he's not the tanned tennis pro who travels from resort to resort or the beach bum who follows his whims. Aleman is a modern migrant worker, but rather than toiling in the fields of yore, this summer he worked at Nantucket Yacht Club as a dishwasher, cleaning the silver and stemware of the high-society set.
Resorts, hotels, and restaurants far and wide have hired him - and many others - to work on their lawns or in their kitchens.
You wanna know why?
"illegal immigrants, who mow the lawns, trim the hedges, clean the swimming pools, park the cars, serve the hors d'oeuvres, tidy up the mansions, and do many of the other things that make life so enjoyable for the rich."
That's why the IMMIGRATION "problem" is NEVER SOLVED!!
Part of an emerging underground network that functions largely by word of mouth, Aleman is a simple worker who represents a complex problem: While he seems to have it great, his labor is often difficult and his life rootless. And while he uses his pay to support a family in the United States and Honduras, he is often accused of taking jobs from locals....
Just an accusation acoording to the pro-illegal, pro-rich, pro-corportat5e, agenda-pushing scitte sheet.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that about 500,000 service workers - dishwashers, barbers, and others - were in Massachusetts in March. It does not track how many are here seasonally. For Aleman, it's a life lived on the fringes of opulence. He often works 12-hour days near the ski slopes of Tahoe or the white beaches of Jupiter Island. His bedroom may have a panoramic view of Nantucket Harbor, but he shares the tiny space with two other immigrant workers.
At least he HAS A JOB!
Notice how the Globe PAINFULLY IGNORES any implications of ILLEGALITY? Not really a surprise anymore, not when you realize AmeriKan "news"papers are just AGENDA-SHOVELING PIECES of PURE PROPAGANDA!!!
"The area, the geography might sound attractive, but it's no vacation for them," said William Rodriguez, a Boston immigration lawyer. "It's long hours and dirty work and somebody's got to do it. Unfortunately, the people that usually end up doing it are people of color."
Yup, the POOR, POOR ILLEGALS!
To Aleman, 41, the Nantucket dishwashing gig is not only the best job he has ever held, it is the culmination of years of hard work and some luck. He came to the United States illegally, at age 27, hopping a bus from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, into Mexico, hundreds of miles north. Then, he and a friend spent days traveling by foot through the Sonoran Desert into Arizona, he said.
Yup, that ILLEGAL PART doesn't trouble to Boston Globe!
Btw, if you think I am some sort of RACIST, you are WRONG: The Robin Hood of the Homeless
That was 14 years ago. This summer, Aleman earned $16 an hour as a dishwasher. He lived in a tiny, third-floor room on the yacht club grounds for free....
Oh, this guy was REALLY HURTING, wasn't he? With ALL the AMERICANS whom have lost their jobs and homes, the Globe puts THIS PIECE of AGENDA-PUSHING GARBAGE on PAGE ONE?
************
When the Globe attempted to confirm his employment at various locations, only the Park Vista Hotel responded, saying in an e-mail that Aleman had worked there for a year. That might be because some immigrants work under the table. And some businesses do not want to acknowledge hiring immigrants at all because of political controversy over illegal immigration.
Some researchers and politicians say immigrants have taken jobs from American workers, and in particular, teenagers and college students. "The question is why are we bringing a guy in from Honduras, paying him $17 an hour, and not giving that job to a kid from New Bedford or Fall River?" said Paul Harrington, an economist at the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University. "It's a failure of the system, plain and simple."
Not a "failure, "sir; all PART of the NEO-CON PLAN for GLOBAL INTEGRATION of ECONOMIES!!!!
Steven Camarata, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, D.C., said many argue that such workers as Aleman take jobs Americans won't. He said it's more important to note that such networks are increasingly playing "a very significant role" in the national economy.
I am SO SICK of hearijng that shit!!!!! I WILL WASH DISHES for $16/hour; however, here you get $6.75!!!!!!!!!!!
So FUCK YOU and your AGENDA-PUSHING GARNAGE, globalist a-hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You would think it wouldn't be that efficient. I mean what does he make when he goes to Boca and how far is it?" Camarata said. "But one of the benefits for our society is we get a guy who's willing to do this work. And the downside is that it creates job competition for the poorest of Americans."
Which is what the GLOBALIST SHIT-SCUM WANT, cui bono?
On Columbus Day weekend in Nantucket, Aleman looked the part of a man of leisure, dressed in a polo shirt with the collar up, unwrinkled blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. He said he has his immigration papers in order and has been working in the United States legally since 2000, when he and many others from Honduras, Nicaragua, and countries in the Caribbean were granted amnesty after Hurricane Mitch.
Pffft! And they want to do the same thing now!
Yup, LAW-BREAKING means NOTHING unless you are an AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN!! Then it is IN JAIL YOU GO!!!!
Aleman left Nantucket for the season recently, taking a ferry to Hyannis, then boarding a Greyhound bus to Gatlinburg, which is the closest thing he has to a home, he said. His girlfriend and 3-month-old daughter live there. He had never seen his daughter, because of his Nantucket job, but said he often thinks about settling down with them.
I really don't want to hear HIS SOB STORY, 'kay?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's working and with a family, right? Something a lot of AMERICANS, IRAQIS, AFGHANIS, PAKISTANIS, SOMALIS, and PALESTINIANS (to name a few) CAN'T SAY, right?
For now, he is working part time as a dishwasher at the Edgewater Hotel, washing the dishes of conventioneers staying in downtown Gatlinburg. How long that will last is unclear. Holding up his cellphone, he said he also recently learned from a friend that the pay at a resort in Alaska is "very, very good."
Oh, he's got ANOTHER CALL for WORK, huh?
Well, my phone hasn't rang for a long, long, time, so F*** HIM and the agenda-pushing MSM!!!!!!
