"Working On The Margins In Metropolitan Los Angeles: Immigrants In Day-Labor
Work." Migraciones Internacionales 1.2 (2002): 5-29. Academic Search Premier. Web. 2 Feb.
2015.
This article written by Migraciones Internacionales explores the idea that Latino immigrants
have chosen to participate in day labor. They surveyed 481 day workers, showing that most of
them were recently arrived and unauthorized immigrants, but that their wages varied, and most
were set over minimum wage. The advantage was that they were paid in cash and untaxed. For
a minority of day laborers, this market provides an alternative to other forms of low-skilled, and
irregular employment.

Search Premier. Web. 2 Feb. 2015.
This Wall Street Journal article discusses the growing number of latinos in the United States and
that the US needs immigration reform that will grant undocumented citizens temporary working
license and fair treatment to those already in the country. I want to include this because it has
made such a huge impact in so many lives as of today. It gives latinos a second chance to have a
good life.

VICTIMIZATION OF LATINO MIGRANTS: Wage Theft And Robbery." Sociological
Quarterly 52.4 (2011): 593-615. Academic Search Premier. Web. 2 Feb. 2015.
This article written by Elizabeth Fussell discusses the increasing numbers in deportation, and
increasing numbers of unauthorized migrants working in the U.S., since the illegal immigration
reform in 1996. The conditions illegal immigrant workers are in, enables the deportation threat
dynamic, a social mechanism which plays out between unauthorized Latino migrants and those
who take advantage of them and exposes the migrants to the risk of wage theft and robbery.

Obamas administration joined Latino leaders and immigrant advocates in a full-court press
conference on behalf of a bill granting legal status to thousands of illegal immigrant students.
This article would help my paper by demonstrating that an act like this should have been voted
on years ago and maybe more latinos would have better paying jobs.
