OSHA and Illegal Immigrants
Is Your Safety Program Human-Proof?
I recently had the opportunity to cross our southern border and experience Hispanic culture first hand. I didn’t go to a resort or a hotel on some beach. I went to stay with some dear Mexican friends who live in the mountains of Veracruz. An unintended consequence of the trip was a view into the immigration dilemma from their side of the border. While enjoying incredible hospitality, great food, and hardworking passionate people, I also saw crushing poverty. Making an average of $60-$80/month, the locals have little hope of ever buying many of the staple comforts we enjoy in America. For many Mexicans, owning land, a vehicle, a refrigerator, TV, etc., are all distant dreams. Dreams, that is, unless they decide to make the journey to the land of opportunity. Unfortunately, many of these journeys are made illegally.
