Do You Hear That Sucking Sound?

DULCE PINZÓN is a photographer/artist who's latest exhibition is photographs of Mexicans at work, around NY City. She has them dressed in superhero costumes while doing their daily jobs. Why? Because she feels they are the real superheros, making everyone elses life more comfortable.

You can see the pictures at the link but here are the captions;

Juventino Rosas from the State of México works cleaning fish in New York sends home $400 per week
Federico Martínez from Puebla has worked as a chauffeur in New York for 4 years sends home $250 per week
Minerva Valencia from Puebla works as a babysitter in New York sends home $400 per week
Adalberto Lara from the State of México has worked in construction in New York for 4 years sends home $350 per week
Álvaro Cruz from the State of México Works as a cook and runs with the team "Los compadres" of N.Y. for 7 years Sends home $300 per month
Paulino Cardozo from the State of Guerrero Works as a loader in New York Sends home $300 per week
Román Romero from Tlapa, Guerrero works as a nightwatchman in New York sends home $800 per month
María Luisa Romero from Puebla employee in a laundry in Brooklyn , N.Y. for 4 years sends home $150 per week
Ernesto Méndez from México City works as a prostitute in Times Square for 2 years Sends home $200 per week
José Rosendo de Jesús from Guerrero works as a union organizer in N.Y. for 5 years sends home $700 per month
Noe Reyes from the State of Puebla Works as fast-food delivery boy in Brooklyn sends home $500 per week

From just 11 of the 10 to 16 million Mexicans here, that's $3,000 a week or $150,000 a year, that's not being spent in this country...... that's not being invested in this country.
Right up there with walmart for sucking the country dry.
