Reprinted from the Baltimore Banner, Mar 30, 2024

BALTIMORE– Authorities have suspended search-and-rescue efforts for four construction workers lost in the Patapsco River after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Two others were pulled from the wreckage Wednesday, and two survived the catastrophe. Each of these men helped make the Baltimore region a thriving, vibrant and safer community. They were longtime residents of the area — fathers, spouses, community members and immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico — who poured out their love and care to better their communities but received little care in return.

This tragedy is an unwavering reminder that immigrants are part of the backbone of our country and are woven into the fabric of every city, state and community we call home. Baltimore is not Baltimore without them. That applies to any other U.S. community. Just as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to show us, immigrants are crucial to helping communities recover. Yet, far too often, the care that we immigrants selflessly give to make us collectively safer comes at the expense of our lives.

In the early-morning hours before the bridge was struck by a cargo ship, these six men were busy repairing masonry and potholes, ensuring the roads we cross every day were tended to for their neighbors.

In the days after the bridge collapse, divers found two of the men trapped inside a pickup truck in 25 feet of water, Maryland State Police Superintendent Col. Roland L. Butler Jr. said at a news conference. They were identified as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, from Veracruz in Mexico, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, who was from San Luis in Guatemala.

Two other workers have been identified: Miguel Luna, a father of three, and Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, a father of two.

These men were part of the Baltimore-area community, had raised families here, gave themselves to the city every day and belonged here.

The Key Bridge collapse was a terrible accident, and terrible accidents happen far too often to workers. But in a country where immigrant lives are consistently devalued, it serves as an important reminder of how much immigrants put their lives on the line for all of us. Our hearts are shattered knowing that these men should have made it back home that night to see their loved ones, to hug their children and to embrace their spouses. Instead, this tragedy is a somber reminder of the work we all must do to ensure our communities are safe and caring for everyone who calls this place home.

Across industries, especially in construction fields, immigrant communities face higher rates of fatality due to dangerous working conditions and insufficient or nonexistent safety measures. Exploitative working conditions, from construction to farm working, have heedlessly treated Black and brown immigrant lives as expendable.

Well beyond Baltimore, the deaths of these six men point to the essential role immigrants play in powering our country and the structural inequities and lack of political will to protect them at a national level. Nationwide, millions continue to be denied access to critical and permanent protections, including access to health care, affordable housing and a pathway to citizenship. This lack of legislative intention to include immigrants in all forms of protection has recklessly put countless of our lives at risk and left gaping wounds among families and entire communities left holding the grief of their loved ones whose tragic deaths were painfully preventable.

At a state level, legislative attacks against immigrants are on the rise. From Texas to Georgia to Arizona and more, the places we all call home are facing a moment when our immigrant neighbors are continuously vilified and scapegoated for malicious political incentives. This demonization turns into real policies, such as Texas’ deportation legislation that would allow state police to racially profile and target Black and brown Texans they suspect are undocumented.

No one is made safer by these laws, and we all deserve better than the anti-immigrant actors who are trying to divide us by building walls and investing billions of dollars to target, detain and deport the very community members who are caring for our shared spaces.

Immigrants like the men on the Francis Scott Key Bridge ensure we can move freely throughout the communities we call home and keep us connected to our neighbors and families.

Now is the time to be unapologetic in demanding our elected officials on all levels lead with the humanity required to ensure every member of our community is cared for and protected, regardless of their immigration status. President Joe Biden must take action to grant relief to all immigrants in our communities.

This is our collective obligation and an urgent, necessary way for us to honor the legacies and lives of the Francis Scott Key Bridge workers. Let’s move forward together to defend immigrant lives.

Los trabajadores inmigrantes como los del Puente Key cuidan nuestras comunidades

Las vidas perdidas en el colapso del puente nos recuerdan nuestra obligación de defenderlos a todos

Reimpreso de Baltimore Banner, 30 de marzo de 2024

BALTIMORE– Las autoridades han suspendido los esfuerzos de búsqueda y rescate de cuatro trabajadores de la construcción perdidos en el río Patapsco, después del colapso del puente Francis Scott Key. Otras dos personas fueron rescatadas de los escombros el miércoles y dos sobrevivieron a la catástrofe. Cada uno de estos hombres ayudó a hacer de la región de Baltimore una comunidad próspera, vibrante y segura. Eran residentes de la zona desde hacía mucho tiempo (padres, cónyuges, miembros de la comunidad e inmigrantes de El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y México) que derramaron su amor y cuidado para mejorar sus comunidades, pero recibieron poca atención a cambio.

Esta tragedia es un recordatorio de que los inmigrantes son parte de la columna vertebral del país y están entretejidos en la estructura de cada ciudad, estado y comunidad a la que llamamos hogar. Baltimore no es Baltimore sin ellos y se aplica a cualquier comunidad estadounidense. Tal como nos sigue demostrando la pandemia de COVID-19, los inmigrantes son cruciales para ayudar a las comunidades a recuperarse. Sin embargo, con demasiada frecuencia, la atención que los inmigrantes ofrecemos desinteresadamente para brindar mayor seguridad colectiva, se produce a expensas de nuestras vidas.

En la madrugada, antes del impacto del puente por parte de un carguero, seis hombres trabajaban en mampostería y baches, asegurándose de que las carreteras estuvieran en buenas condiciones para sus vecinos.

En los días posteriores al colapso, los buzos encontraron a dos de los hombres, atrapados dentro de un pickup a 25 pies bajo el agua; comentó en una conferencia de prensa, el superintendente de la policía estatal de Maryland, coronel Roland L. Butler Jr. Fueron identificados como Alejandro Hernández Fuentes, de Veracruz, México, y Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, de San Luis en Guatemala.

Otros dos trabajadores han sido identificados: Miguel Luna, padre de tres hijos, y Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, padre de dos.

Estos hombres eran parte de la comunidad de Baltimore, habían formado familias aquí, se entregaban a la ciudad todos los días y pertenecían aquí.

El colapso del puente Key fue un accidente terrible, y los trabajadores los sufren con demasiada frecuencia. Pero en un país donde las vidas de los inmigrantes se devalúan constantemente, sirve como recordatorio de cómo los inmigrantes arriesgan sus vidas por nosotros. Nuestros corazones están destrozados al saber que estos hombres deberían haber regresado a casa esa noche para ver a sus seres queridos, abrazar a sus hijos y a sus esposas. Más bien, esta tragedia es un sombrío recordatorio del trabajo que todos debemos hacer para garantizar que nuestras comunidades estén seguras y protejan a todos los que llaman hogar a este país.

En todas las áreas, especialmente en la construcción, las comunidades inmigrantes enfrentan tasas más altas de mortalidad, debido a condiciones laborales peligrosas y medidas de seguridad insuficientes o inexistentes. Con las condiciones laborales de explotación, desde la construcción hasta el trabajo agrícola; las vidas de los inmigrantes negros y morenos han sido consideradas como prescindibles.

Photo credit CASA Baltimore affiliate

Mucho más allá de Baltimore, la muerte de estos seis hombres señala el papel esencial que desempeñan los inmigrantes en el poder de nuestro país y las desigualdades estructurales y la falta de voluntad política para protegerlos a nivel nacional. En todo el país, a millones de personas se les sigue negando el acceso a protecciones críticas y permanentes, incluido el acceso a la atención médica, a una vivienda asequible y a un camino hacia la ciudadanía. Esta falta de intención legislativa para incluir a los inmigrantes en todas las formas de protección ha puesto imprudentemente en riesgo innumerables vidas y ha dejado heridas abiertas entre familias y comunidades enteras que cargan con el dolor de sus seres queridos, cuyas trágicas muertes fueron dolorosamente prevenibles.

A nivel estatal, los ataques legislativos contra los inmigrantes van en aumento. Desde Texas hasta Georgia y Arizona, el lugar al que todos llamamos hogar se enfrenta a un momento en el que nuestros vecinos inmigrantes, son continuamente vilipendiados y convertidos en chivos expiatorios por incentivos políticos maliciosos. Esta demonización se transforma en políticas reales, como la legislación de deportación de Texas, que permitiría a la policía estatal perfilar racialmente y atacar a los tejanos negros y morenos que se sospeche que son indocumentados.

Estas leyes no hacen que nadie esté seguro, y todos merecemos algo mejor que los actores antiinmigrantes que están tratando de dividirnos, construyendo muros e invirtiendo miles de millones de dólares para atacar, detener y deportar a los mismos miembros de la comunidad que cuidan protegen nuestros espacios comunes.

Los inmigrantes como los hombres en el puente Francis Scott Key garantizan que podamos movernos libremente nuestras comunidades y nos mantienen conectados con nuestros vecinos y familias.

Ahora es el momento de no pedir disculpas y exigir que nuestros funcionarios electos en todos los niveles, lideren con la humanidad necesaria para garantizar que cada miembro de nuestra comunidad sea cuidado y protegido, independientemente de su estatus migratorio. El presidente Joe Biden debe tomar medidas para otorgar alivio a todos los inmigrantes en nuestra comunidad.

Esta es nuestra obligación colectiva y una forma urgente y necesaria de honrar el legado y las vidas de los trabajadores del puente Francis Scott Key. Avancemos juntos para defender las vidas de los inmigrantes.
