Migrant workers in New York face several challenges. They rely heavily on their community networks and solidarity for legal help, jobs, and health services due to limited financial resources. Women migrants often face additional difficulties compared to men, such as finding sponsorship after arriving as dependents. Community health centers and private doctors are the most common sources of healthcare, while very few seek hospital care. Remittances sent home by migrants like Filipinos are used exclusively for family expenses and caring for elderly parents.
