Immigration in this country has become a controversial topic rife with racism. Now immigrants coming to America are forced to work in occupations that leave no room for growth and also face a lot of discrimination. Dulce Pinzon, a photographer, explains this concept in her illustrated essay, The True Story of Superheroes. He took a series of photos of immigrants in superhero costumes working minimum wage jobs to support their family, despite financial hardship, they still work hard. “The Mexican immigrant worker in New York is a perfect example of a hero who went unnoticed. It is common for a Mexican worker in New York to work extra hours under extreme conditions for very low wages who are saved at great cost and sacrifice and sent to families and communities in Mexico who rely on them to survive” (511). We celebrate a country that has advertised itself as a country that is a “melting pot” of cultures, but rejects those who come to us willing to work. The Fourth should be a day to remember our roots and where our country was created
