Migrant Workers
Tens of thousands of migrant workers to Gulf Coast to work in the recovery.
Many were recruited, promised good wages and working conditions and plenty of work.
Some paid money up front for chance to come to work.
Most of these promises were broken. Many Latino workers live in houses without
electricity, other live out of cars. Whole families are living in tents.

20,000 purged from voter rolls
• The Louisiana Secretary of State announced in August 2007 that he had deleted 20,000 former Louisiana residents from voter rolls after a computer search matched people who were registered to vote in Louisiana with names of people registered in other states. Some of those registered in other states never knew they had registered to vote there – they had apparently registered when they signed up to get drivers licenses, according to Orleans Registrar of Voters Sandra Wilson.
