Migrants in NYC: Struggling for Stability and Work
Manuel Castro, New York's commissioner for immigrant affairs, is at the center of the city's response to the upsurge of arrivals of more than 50,000 migrants since last spring. Castro, who came to the US as an undocumented child, is the chief adviser on immigration for the mayor of New York. His journey is one of extraordinary mobility, from child of undocumented immigrant parents to city commissioner. Castro's response to the crisis is infused with firsthand knowledge of what it's like to immigrate to the United States.
