Hmmm, just thinking about a woman I know, crossed the border with her husband and two small daughters when it got too dangerous for them in Mexico. Never a hint of trouble from the girls, husband has worked as a mechanic for a long time, she cleans houses and babysits to supplement. Never on food stamps or welfare, they work hard and live frugally. She went to North Scottsdale to clean a trophy wife's house, to earn $40. She worked for 4 hours and was ready to leave when the woman said, "You can't leave, you didn't clean the floors." Of course she had cleaned the floors and showed the woman the clean floors. The woman said, "No you didn't clean the grout.", proceeded to hand my friend a toothbrush and put her feet up while my friend spent the next two hours on her knees scrubbing the womans grout. My friend finally got her $40 bucks and went home with legs so swollen she coudn't walk the next day. Yes, she is here illegally, does that mean she is not human and therefore not entitled to some dignity and decency? Does anyone else think the Scottsdale woman's behavior was cruel and well....wicked? Really, folks, can we do better than this?
