My dad works in construction, so what?

Karla Rivera,
Dallas, TX

My father did come from Mexico crossing the border but he has his papers. He works in construction in a nicer white populated area. My father works very hard and he tries his best to speak English. I wish people would stop judging him, for someone who quit school at a young age to help his family he is making a living for my family. I can’t be with him 24/7 but I always pray he is safe and comes home to us.
