Immigrants are Cheated

Letter to Steve Lopez, Columnist at the L.A. Times

Hi Steve:

It’s me, Morrie, just saying hello.
I read your column this morning.
I agree.
Immigrants are cheated.
Many times they don’t get the less than minimum wages they agreed to work for.
Some employers are heartless and the poor people they cheat have no recourse.
They are afraid, for good reason, to go to the police, fearing as illegals they will be asked for immigration papers …
As my friend Ruby repeatedly said, “That’s the way it is.” Life is not fair.
So, my friend Steve, keep writing.
I hope this letter finds you and your family healthy and happy.
Morrie
