(sent by John Reece <reece () pobox com>) Here's another foreign vs. native worker issue. Seems contractorsare almost exclusively recruiting the undocumented to rebuild New Orleans:http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/10/12/ MNG53F74SK1.DTLOther articles cite wages of $15-17 hour. This begs a question I have yet to see the media ask: what happened to all those black New Orleans residents too poor to afford transportation out of town we heard so much about a few weeks ago? The contractors are advertising on Univision. What about BET (Black Entertainment Television)????JR
