I thought the section of this essay where the boss was also an immigration officer was interesting. It seems almost like a scam for the workers to go into his program. They have to pay that outrageous fee just to get a job! - obviously they do not have the money if they do not have a job already. However it is nice that they can get a free ride home if they stay to the end of their contracts. Having said that - I don't think the conditions are really good, so I am sure that many do not make it to the end. The incident with the flood was hard to believe - the workers are treated more like indentured slaves than employees.
It is disconcerting that such conditions still exist in America... it makes me feel like we have not progressed as far as we like to say we have.
