Thread: Why "migrant" workers are dressing up as superhero

Sickening!! What about the legions of AMERICAN heroes doing some of the most unappreciated jobs in the nation? (Check out the link to see the photos).

Why migrant workers are dressing up as superheroes

Bernabe Mendez, photographed here as Spider-Man for Dulce Pinzon's art project, works as a professional window cleaner in New York.

Spider-Man washing windows? Superman delivering groceries? The Thing working construction? Why are Earth's mightiest mortals suddenly laboring at some of our economy's lowest-paid and least-respected jobs?

It's all artist Dulce Pinzón's fault. He wants us to remember that the greatest heroes aren't superhumans battling cosmic forces, but rather those ordinary men and women who work multiple shifts under grueling conditions to support their families—in this case, Mexican immigrants in New York, often the sole support of their families and communities back home. That's why, since 9/11, he's been dressing up those whom he considers unsung heroes and photographing them in the workplace.

We're only sharing three of the images from Pinzón's project here, but the full exhibition can be seen at the Smith Farm Center through November 29.

And for those who can't make it to Washington, D.C., check out the artist's site for additional photos.

What claptrap! According to this guy, only mexicans do menial labor? Give me a bloody break!

4 Reaons they are full of it.

1. No one asked them to come here
2. They don't pay any taxes
3. They get social services/welfare goodies/education for their children via out taxes, they should be grateful to the American tax payers instead of complaining.
4. They are taking jobs from hard-working Americans

That's a really shitty piece of overt propaganda.

Great list!

I left my comment there also! Come on and show them how we really feel about this guys and gals........

All those in superhero costumes should add a "job thief" sign to their costume. I am glad they are dressing up in costumes so we know who all the job thieves are. Maybe all the Americans who have lost their jobs and become homeless should dress up like Ben Franklin and George Washington. Their children could dress up too. To bring attention to the fact that illegal immigration has stolen their jobs.

At closer inspection something becomes evident about these photos. I think they are photo shopped. They are not real photos. Look especially at the guy in the Superman costume on the bike. C'mon...photo shopped.
