According to the Halliburton subcontractor. they were being paid twothirds of our prevailing hourly wage. with no benefits. At the time. they were living in small tents off base.

That is at the root of much of this discussion with respect to guest workers. Five days after I held that hearing. the Washington Post ran an article that pointed out that there was a raid and they found the illegal workers down at that job site on a U.S. naval air base.
