Worked Over in Whitefish, MT
| March 13, 2008 |  View for printing |
A controversial corporation brings foreign students to Whitefish and other cities, giving them menial jobs for lousy pay. Is this any way to see America?
It was late December 2007 when Brazilians Paulo Vanucci, 30, and Ricardo Fernandes, 21, and Chilean Daniel Henriquez, 22, arrived in barren West Wendover, Nev. They’d come to the outpost, a gambling oasis near the Utah border, for jobs at a hotel-casino—work that had been arranged for them by an Atlanta-based company called Hospitality & Catering Management Services. The three men were all college students on their summer break (it was summer in South America), and they’d signed on with HCMS for common reasons. Coming to America would help them improve their English, learn about the culture, and make a little money, too.
