Bridge collapse reveals true picture of immigrant workers; all victims were from Central America
米東海岸のメリーランド州ボルティモアで貨物船が衝突して橋が崩落した事故は、現地時間の２６日未明に発生した
The accident in which a cargo ship collided and caused a bridge to collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, on the east coast of the United States, occurred in the early hours of the 26th local time.
If it had been daylight, there would have probably been hundreds of cars and trucks driving on the bridge.
橋の上にいて死亡したと推定される６人はメンテナンス作業員だった
The six people presumed to have died on the bridge were maintenance workers.
Few people cared about them, but they worked through the night to keep this country running.
６人全員が、より良い生活を求めてメキシコや中米から米国に来た移民だった
All six were immigrants who came to the United States from Mexico and Central America in search of a better life.
The reality is far from the virtual image portrayed by former President Donald Trump.
今回の事故で犠牲になった建設作業員６人のうち、２人は遺体が収容された
The bodies of two of the six construction workers killed in the accident have been recovered.
Miguel Luna is a father of three from El Salvador and has lived in Maryland for 19 years.
The other man on the bridge, Mainor Yasir Suazo Sandoval, is from Honduras and has lived in the United States for 18 years and has an 18-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.
ほかにもグアテマラ国籍の２人が行方不明になっているほか、崩落した橋の上にはメキシコ国籍の作業員３人がいた
Two other Guatemalan nationals are also missing, and three Mexican workers were found on the collapsed bridge.
One person was rescued from the freezing river.
多くの場合、移民たちはほかの人がやりたがらない仕事に就く
Immigrants often take jobs that others don’t want to do.
The wages are the lowest and the working conditions are the worst.
Some want to support their families in the United States and build a foundation for a better life for their children and grandchildren.
Many people send money to support relatives living in poor countries.
Mexican migrant workers sent more than $60 billion back to their homeland in 2023, according to Mexico’s central bank.
崩落したフランシス・スコット・キー橋が再建される時、建築作業を担うのが移民であることはまず間違いない
When the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge is rebuilt, there is no doubt that immigrants will be responsible for the construction work.
