There are many things that Joe takes for granted, that Jose appreciates - since he can contrast it with his own experience. Whenever I return after visiting home, I have newly born gratitude for many things that gradually become habitual and common. In an immigrant, both natural forces are present: the fear that his family would live through what he'd experienced, and the desire to give them the best future. Thanks for writing this up! Very true, Neil.

My friend picks them up for day labor all the time and says that some of them are way better then any American. They get the job done fast better and with out injury. Powerhouses my friend calls them. (he also tips them on the side because day labor doesn't pay them enough.) I also think part of the reason they get exploited is because they can't speak full English therefor are unable to negotiate better working wages. That is just an assumption though.
