It’s a growing safety concern and potential nuisance. Drivers in Denver have started to see a trend of people offering to wash their windshields while stopped at an intersection.
In some cases, people have become insistent, refusing to take no for an answer.
This is also seen a lot in larger cities along the East Coast and it can create quite a hazard.
One Denver resident told CBS News Colorado reporter Ashley Portillo, he stopped at a red light recently and a group of migrant workers attempted to clean his windshield. He said it made him feel unsafe.
Portillo also spoke with one migrant about this who said they’re cleaning windshields and selling other items, just so they can survive.
“We don’t have a way to get an apartment. What do we do? We have kids,” said one migrant.
For a migrant mom and her family, there’s no other choice. She’s one of the many newly arriving migrants who are not authorized to work in the U.S. and doing anything to make a few dollars.
