(New York, New York) – Rodrigo is a day laborer who has lived in New York for 15 years. He is a volunteer with the Centro del Inmigrante in Staten Island. After hurricane Sandy, he was part of a group of volunteer day laborers who helped rebuild homes in low-income neighborhoods affected. He is participating in today’s action because he says that he has seen the suffering that deportation causes families. “I don’t want my daughter to be facing that situation, of not having her father in the United States. The President has the ability to stop deportations, to make this stop, and to get us one step closer to immigration reform. There is no room for excuses.”
