Undocumented Latino day laborers in the United States are vulnerable to being arrested and expelled at any time. This social fact shapes their everyday lives in terms of actions taken and strategies deployed to mitigate being confronted, profiled, and possibly incarcerated and deported. While perceptions of threat and bouts of discrimination are routine among undocumented Latino day laborers, their specific nature vary according to multiple social factors and structural forces that differ significantly from locale to locale. The experience of discrimination is often tacitly negotiated through perceptions, decisions, and actions toward avoiding or moderating its ill effects. This essay examines urban undocumented Latino day laborers over a variety of sites in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, which, compared to many metropolitan areas in the U.S. is "as good as it gets" in terms of being socially tolerated and relatively safe from persecution. Nonetheless, tacit negotiations are necessary to withstand or overcome challenges presented by idiosyncratic and ever changing global, national/state, and local dynamics of discrimination.

在美国，没有合法身份的拉丁裔日工随时都有可能被逮捕和驱逐。这一社会现实塑造了他们的日常生活，影响着他们为避免被盘查、被定性、甚至可能被监禁和驱逐而采取的行动和策略。虽然对威胁的感知和歧视的情况在没有合法身份的拉丁裔日工中很常见，但具体情况因多种社会因素和结构力量而异，这些因素和力量在不同地区差异很大。歧视的经历往往通过对避免或减轻其不良影响的认知、决策和行动来进行默契的协商。本文研究了旧金山湾区多个地点的城市无证拉丁裔日工，与美国许多大都市地区相比，这里在社会容忍度和相对免受迫害方面“已经是最好的了”。尽管如此，仍需要进行默契的协商，以抵御或克服由特殊且不断变化的全球、国家/州和地方歧视动态所带来的挑战。[无证拉丁裔劳工、社会排斥、歧视、默契协商]
