One year ago today, a local day-laborer hiring site opened its doors in a tense atmosphere. In the initial weeks, a swarm of angry residents would set up lawn chairs across the street every morning and glare at Hispanic workers walking into the center.
“We didn’t have a lot of initial momentum opening this place because a lot of the workers were scared,” said Mariana Boneo, executive director of the Hispanic Resource Center, the group that runs the site. “It really deterred the workers from coming here.”"*
