Amal Bouhabib is the Director of Southern Migrant Legal Services and defender of the Black catfish farmworkers who were paid less than white migrant workers from South Africa doing the same work. Amal is usually defending migrant workers, who also face abuse in this system. We discuss this case and the complexities of labor and immigration laws that lead to vulnerabilities for American and migrant workers alike in our seafood system.
