Immigrant laborers
Immigrants from Mexico, who did not want to give their names, wait for day jobs outside a Home Depot store in Glendale, CA, May 1, 2006. The workers said their need for cash to pay their rent prevented them from participating in the "Day Without an Immigrant" work boycott and rally.
