Yet they cannot obtain proper jobs in the city, due to a 1950's law that has successfully segregated them from city-dwellers. Though the law is no longer enforced, the villagers continue to experience disrespect and humiliation due to the fact that their jobs are at the lowest end of the working spectrum, and they are considered to be not only uneducated, but also dirty, by city-dwellers who often, as seen in the article, yell at them, bark commands, and make them feel truly discriminated against. Though the city offers no social status, it does offer the much-needed cash these farmers need. In a village where the average annual income is $60, these migrant workers can make twice as that, or even three times, in a year of working in the city, thereby allowing opportunity for their sons and daughters to be schooled properly.
