Day laborers plan community service, hoping to help image

The Orange County Register reports that day laborers are gearing up for a national day of community service tomorrow planning to clean up garbage, paint trees and beautify neighborhoods in 20 cities around the country, including Los Angeles.  "The effort isn’t pure altruism but a pitch by day laborers to improve their image amid a barrage of local ordinances that aim to crack down on work solicitation and the political uproar over illegal immigration."
