  Hispanic day laborers wait on a cold street corner early in the morning, hoping for an employer to drive up and put them to work in Tucson, Arizona. Manual laborers, mostly undocumented workers from Mexico, frequent this corner in Tucson every morning before dawn, in an informal arrangement with local employers, who can pick up as many as they need for day-long jobs. Much of the work up to now has been housing-related; but with the housing downturn, that work has largely dried up, and these laborers now often don't work more than once a week.
