Longoria laments plight of Latino immigrants in the US

‘Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria hopes her new documentary will highlight the plight of Latin American immigrants trying to survive in the US, after spending a day working alongside them.

While researching the new film with labour activist Dolores Huertas, Longoria agreed to go undercover to see just what life is like for struggling immigrants - and she was shocked by what she uncovered.

The actress whose family hails from Mexico, tells Maxim magazine,

"We're documenting a day in the life of an immigrant worker, just to show how hard these people work - how they slave away just for us to have a salad at the Chateau Marmont (top Los Angeles hotel).

"I spent a day out in the field, and it's horrendous. It's an exploitation of people who leave everything behind: their country, their family, their lives, their language, their religion. They leave it all behind to come here and make $5 a day. My hope is that the documentary will educate people about what's going on," she added.
