Baltimore bridge collapse highlights dangers faced by immigrant workers

The devastating collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has highlighted the perils for immigrant workers in the United States.

Six of the workers on the bridge — four of whom are presumed dead — were from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.

" (They were) good men, men who supported their families, men who worked hard to make sure that their families will sustain economically. They were very close to their families and their families in their country of origin," Father Ako Walker, from Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Baltimore, told China Daily.
