Teachers from Caribbean countries say New York City schools misled them

From The New York Daily News: A group of teachers from Caribbean countries say the New York City Education Department lured hundreds of them to city schools with false promises of green cards and financial aid. In early 2001, when the economy was booming and there was a teacher shortage, more than 500 teachers from the Caribbean area came to city schools to work. After almost 10 years, most still lack green cards, and their immigration status makes it impossible for their spouses and children to work. The teachers want a meeting with Schools Chancellor Cathie Black and legal assistance from the Education Department.
