Migrant farm worker deaths show cost of the ‘American Dream’

 

In Migrant farm worker deaths show cost of the ‘American Dream’, Brandon Drenon and Bernd Debusmann Jr. for the BBC looks at the experiences of migrant farmworkers in the United States.  “From farmers and meatpackers to line cooks and construction workers, migrants often do dangerous jobs where workplace deaths typically go unnoticed by the wider public. But in the past year, the issue has been thrust into the spotlight, by multiple high-profile deaths and by a migrant crisis at the border that has amplified anti-immigrant rhetoric.”
