    I think this is terrible. But I used to go to Rice and I strongly think the contractor was hiring illegals and that they were making them work in unsafe conditions. This is very sad for all sides.
    We must stop illegal immigration, punish the evil employers, and compensate those who have been working under unjust conditions!
