Congressman Frank Pallone, New Jersey Democrat, has asked the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Commissioner James Ziglar to investigate the Teachers Placement Group, a New York-based recruiting agency, for violating the H-1B law by demanding a percentage of wages earned by some of its teaching recruits, including six from the Newark Public School system.
Pallone became concerned about the actions of the agency after reading press reports that H-1B workers from India were being forced to illegally turn over 25 percent of their salary to the agency, in accordance with a contract the teachers had signed in December agreeing to these terms.
