Gulf Coast slaves

Halliburton and its subcontractors hired hundreds of undocumented Latino workers to clean up after Katrina -- only to mistreat them and throw them out without pay.

    Typical Halliburton

    I am so sick of the name Halliburton! Katrina has become another way for this company to enrich itself with Cheney's blessing. It is a sad day when undocumented aliens are let go before being paid.

    This country has lost its soul under the Bush Administration!
