I wanted to get the hard facts on whether or not those workers displace U.S. citizen labor. I spoke with the North Carolina Growers Association (NCGA), the largest employer of documented temporary farm labor from poor countries under the H-2A [...]]]></description>

In six decades it has grown from a small fishing village to a gleaming metropolis with a per capita GDP comparable to that of the United States. In many ways, Dubai must be seen to be believed.
