I think the latter is a given, right? They're the TMO's "Jerry's Kids." The visa thing, however, *would* be good to know the details of. I used to work in NYC with any number of Indians who had been brought over to the US by their relatives. The relatives were billing these guys' services to Chase Manhattan Bank for $50 an hour while paying them $5 an hour and putting them up in the YMCA. The poor guys who were being treated like this were afraid to say anything or do anything because their relatives had convinced them that under the conditions of their visas they could *not* seek other work or doing anything other than what their bosses (in this case their sleazy relatives) said. We (me and a few other programmers) did the home- work for them and found out the real details of their visa situation and sat them all down and told them the truth. As a result, most of these guys were able to renegotiate their own direct contracts with Chase Manhattan, and tell their relatives to go fuck themselves. We also informed Chase Manhattan what the relatives were doing and the bank reacted by taking them off the "approved providers" list. Sometimes things work out the way you'd like them to. Anyway, I think "it would be good" :-) if someone found out what the visas these guys arrived here under really say, just in case any of them get tired of generating Woo Woo Rays, and are prevented from doing so by those they trust.
