JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The State Department is limiting participation in a
troubled exchange program and putting a moratorium on new businesses
becoming sponsors for thousands of foreign college students who use the
program to visit the United States.
The agency published the new rules Monday. The changes to the J-1 summer
work and travel program come 11 months after The Associated Press reported
widespread abuses, from students working in strip clubs to others paid $1 an
hour or less for menial jobs.
The students given temporary visas are required to have jobs and often work
in resorts and restaurants.
The State Department enacted stronger rules this past summer, but says
complaints remain high.
The department says future participation will be limited to the "2011 actual
participant levels." |
