Mexican construction workers make comments when I am in my back yard..?
Should I complain to the foreman? or call the police for harassment? I called the county permit office because I thought construction workers were not allowed to do that anymore since the 80's; they said call the police. I'm afraid if I walk over there on Monday then they will know it was me specifically that complained. More info: they don't say a peep during the week when their bosses are there. This just happens on the weekend when no one is around. I have a right to live here too, I notice they don't say anything when other races are doing things in their yard. Just when I walk out. I don't think they are doing things because I am pretty, I think it is because of my race and this is an affluent neighborhood. Need advice quickly because I want it to stop. Actually I don't go out when they are working, but today around 5pm on a Sunday I thought I was safe and the howls happened. I did start to cry and I am a bit stressed about this. Sucks big time.
* I DID think about saying Que Paso?
but I did not want to yell out
**Actually yes, I did cry because I am outside my home, in my yard, on my property, with a family and no one has the right to do that. So yes, it upset me greatly because I can't go to my hubby with this. And as a woman I don't have to take this. My message also says, I AVOID enjoying my back yard, and that just isn't right. When they were constructing in front of my house, I could not even walk to my mailbox. I'm the victim here...as a woman you should understand especially when you use the avy of the photo of the girl from Afghanistan!

You cried because of cat calls?
Call immigration.
As the adult, you need to handle it. You're feeling like a victim before doing anything about it, yet it is so simple to fix. Go talk to the forman in front of them, be polite to him and say 'look, I though I'd bring this to your attention rather than going to the police... etc." If the boss is smart the problem will be solved right then and there with the veiled threat of the attention of the police, because no construction company that uses immigrant labor would want the attention of the authorities.
If that doesn't work, call the police, make a report, then if nothing is still done you can up the stakes with a claim that one of them exposed themselves to you in front of your children etc.
As for the afghan girl, she's faced real problems and probably never cried.
