Here is a photograph of the circumstances of how they were living. This is. of course. a little rough shed with 2 by 4s to frame up some beds. I am guessing most of these are undocumented workers brought in to take the jobs that had belonged to the folks in Louisiana who desperately need these jobs. But because the President said there is no requirement to pay what DavisBacon wages. no requirement to pay the prevailing wage in this region. the result is unscrupulous contractors who bring in workers who will work for dirt cheap wages with no benefits and many hours and put them up in circumstances such as this. And. oh. by the way. some of them were told they could go to work on a crew such as this and get a fraction of what they would have to pay others who are skilled. and they can get free meals at the Red Cross.
