JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi’s immigrant workers in the state say they are essential employees not getting the treatment they deserve while working long hours for low wages.
The Immigrants Alliance for Justice and Equity wants safer workplaces, the end to deportation and the return of deported workers in detention. The workers are reaching out to the president for help.
Latino community leader Efren Nunez carried a petition for President Joe Biden to the Mississippi Office of the Department of Labor demanding the end to what immigrants say are discriminatory practices against them.
