Atlanta Strip Clubs: CBS Atlanta 46AP NewsBreak: US limits troubled visa program

Posted on November 7th, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs

JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) – The State Department is capping a popular exchange program for foreign college students over persistent problems that have included low-paid participants turning to homeless shelters, a walkout over working conditions at a chocolate factory and in one case a woman forced to work as a stripper.
The agency published new rules Monday that limit the number of future participants to this year’s level and put a moratorium on new businesses becoming sponsors for thousands of foreigners who use the program to visit the United States.
The changes to the J-1 summer work and travel program come 11 months after The Associated Press reported widespread abuses, including some students paid $1 an hour or less for menial jobs.

Among the worst cases, the AP found a woman who thought she would be working in a restaurant in Virginia, but was beaten and forced to work as a stripper in Detroit in 2005.
