Legal status of migrant victims uncertain

“The murders have left many wondering whether the six victims were documented workers. Investigators say they are not sure, but their initial focus was on arresting the killers. Many South Georgia farmers employ migrant workers, and in addition to agencies who check to make sure they’re in the country legally, there are also investigators to make sure the workers are being treated fairly.

If you take a look around South Georgia you’ll likely find large groups of Hispanic workers on the farms, and its up to investigators with the Department of Labor to make sure their employers are doing their jobs.”
