Buenos Dias! Arturo here shares this tent with six other people on a frisbee golf course in Lyman because, well, he's got no other choice. The Mexican migrant worker has been having trouble finding work since a crew he was working on exposed the fact that they weren't get paid and other contractors have been hesitant to hire them because the know they'll demand fair pay. Imagine that!

This bugs me terribly. Pay these men, already. Seriously: anyone who enters this country by way of a three day trip in a 120 degree car trunk and do the sort of work few other wans to do then by all means, let them do it.

I heard today that all of the people living in tents on the golf course have been told (not asked) to be off the course by tonight, tent and all....where are they to go? Someone must not being given the FEMA funds they were for letting them stay there and have now gone back to greed! Let's see golf courses are usually owned by the city???? Hmmm.....

Yeah, how dare they demand fair pay? What's their problem? It's like they expect to be treated like human beings or something!
If they're doing the work, pay them! Sheesh!
