Over 500 migrant day workers protested in New York City against an increasingly "hostile environment" caused by a series of laws and bills aimed at stemming the flow of migrants to the U.S. and deporting those who are in the country unlawfully.
The march was called by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON). It began at Herald Square in Manhattan, where laborers from states as far as California, Texas and Florida marched toward a shelter for migrants.
