Undocumented in Canada, she’s emerging from the shadows to fight for equal rights
Monieya Jess never imagined her life in Canada would turn out like this, living undocumented, in the shadows of society. But now she’s risking deportation by speaking out — part of an effort to expose an underground workforce that’s vulnerable to exploitation and likely to grow.
“It’s a nightmare,” she said. “I try to live day by day.”
The 36-year-old from Jamaica left two sons behind in 2021 to pick strawberries at a farm in Nova Scotia on a 90-day temporary work permit. Jess left the farm shortly after she arrived, because she says her employer refused to help her get medical treatment for pain related to her work.
She’s from Jamaica and she’s here illegally so send her back.
This is the sort of uber left slop served up daily by the CBC.
A “sob story” about illegal aliens written without regard for the costs Canadians have to pay for destructive elite virtue signaling.
