Description
Two years ago, Deisy Berbesi arrived in the United States from Venezuela. She graduated from university in her home country, but started again from scratch once arriving from Denver. She found work as a residential cleaner and quickly learned she wasn't getting paid fairly or seeing much of her wages from her services.
"It feels very depressing and unjust because as an immigrant, I always give my best to my work and with myself so that they are fair with me, and it is really, really depressing that there are people like that who try to benefit from people like me who come to this country to get ahead," Berbesi said in her native Spanish language.
