To the Editor:

This is an open letter to those who enjoyed a wonderful July 4th with family and friends in their air-conditioned, elevated beachside and bayside X-thousand-square-foot homes on Long Beach Island.

Imagine those from Ecuador, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Mexico and neighboring countries who are working 12-hour days caring for your home and lawns, cooking your restaurant meals and washing your dirty dishes.
