These<br>\nunauthorized middlemen are said to be responsible for duping many<br>\nimmigrants about the work available, leaving new arrivals<br>\njobless, or forced into jobs different from what was promised.<\/p>\n<p>The unbridled manner in which they seem to be operating in<br>\nthis country calls attention once again to the root of a long-<br>\nstanding problem in the recruitment of foreign labor -- poor<br>\nmonitoring of the hiring process and unsatisfactory execution of<br>\nthe immigration and employment laws.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the matter is the failure of the authorities<br>\nto monitor the recruitment practices.<\/p>\n<p>What is needed, therefore, are clear guidelines for agencies<br>\nand effective mechanisms in regulating their operations, as well<br>\nas decisive action against those who abuse the rights of foreign<br>\nworkers and violate the rules and regulations.<br>\n-- New Straits Times, Kuala Lumpur<\/p>",
