For example, businesses owners usually call the police and the immigration services to complain about day laborers waiting for work in front of their businesses. As a result of this, day laborers were chased down and subsequently arrested and deported. This mobilized VOZ and with the help of other organizations they took actions to support the day laborer population. With the support of other organizations, churches and community members, VOZ organized a plan to negotiate with the Portland police so they can better understand the day laborers community.

While Taylor, too, sees the fine division between the laborer and the employer, Taylor’s perspective derives the problem from the “soldiering” of the laborers, which he then explains is responsible for Marx’s theory…
