Civil rights leaders say Hispanic immigrants going unpaid for Katrina work

Tagged: ,

“The leader of the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights group traveled to Gulfport Friday to investigate claims that immigrant workers are living in squalid conditions and being cheated out of wages while working in the hurricane-ravaged region.

Janet Murguia, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza, and leaders of the Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance visited tent cities where some Hispanic workers have taken shelter since arriving to work along the coast.”
