Domestica: Immigrant Workers Cleaning and Caring in the Shadows of Affluence Book

Anyone seriously wondering what compels so many immigrant workers to leave their homes and come here, to the unfriendly, racist, intolerant U.S., should read this book. Hondagneu-Sotelo tells of the world power economic powers and policies over which most people have zero control, that up-end their lives without the least mercy. This could happen to any of us, as we are learning. Perhaps, reading this research, people will come to understand that we must support progressive policies that put an end to letting the worldwide wealthy few destroy people's lives so they can accumulate still more wealth (as if they could never get enough). People do not want to leave their homes. They migrate in order to survive and help their families and would gladly stay where they are if their own governing elite weren't so corrupt as to sell them out.
