HARRISBURG, Pa.—Foreign students who walked off their jobs in protest this week at a plant that serves The Hershey Co. may soon be getting a free trip to see some of the United States' cultural and historical landmarks. Rick Anaya, chief executive of the nonprofit that helped bring the students to the U.S., said Friday that the plan emerged after a two-hour conference call with representatives of the other companies involved in their employment.

My first thought exactly. Probably a "2-fer" though. With the flip-flop the CEO did, he probably got a tongue-lashing from the State Dept (which handles the SEVP - exchange programs and F, M and J category visitors, and The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)).

SEIU chewing from one side...Hillary from the other.

I know these "student/labor exchange" companies are private/non-profit, but I wonder if they get Fed $?

Most major “non-profits” are just money laundering operations for moonbat lefties.
