In May, federal law enforcement agents raided a Hindu temple in New Jersey after lawyers for hundreds of oppressed caste workers filed a lawsuit against the Hindu sect known as BAPS. The temple was accused of confining the men who were working on a construction project to its grounds and paying them as little as $1 per hour for arduous labor. The lawsuit was amended this month to include other BAPS locations near Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and Robbinsville, N.J. How did so many labourers enter the country without ringing alarm bells?
