One hundred Indian guest workers marched hundreds of miles from New Orleans, LA, to Washington, DC, to protest their treatment by their employer, Signal International. Brought here under the auspices of the H2B visa program, the workers were promised much and given little in return. As concerns about immigration continue to hold the national spotlight, theirs is a cautionary tale. According to a recent article in the Washington Post, eighteen members of Congress have signed a letter to Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey asking for a Justice Department investigation on the group’s behalf.
