We have also created new regulations to provide for increased worker protections for both United States (U.S.) and foreign workers.

The Great Depression (1929-33) resulted in massive repatriations of Latin Americans from the United States and the introduction of highly restrictive immigration policies in a number of industrialized countries, including France and Canada.1,2 The Oil Crisis (1973) resulted in severe restrictions on labor migration, a concomitant growth in asylum applications and irregular migration in Europe, and the emergence of new flows of labor migration to new industrial centers in Asia and Latin America.3 As a result of the Asian financial crisis (1997-99), several Sotheast Asian countries introduced policies of national preference and sought to expel migrant workers.4 The Russian financial crisis (1998) accelerated rates of emigration from Russia, in particular of Russian Jews and the highly-ski...

Everything the cast does makes the characters genuine, especially Randy Kovitz's [Lennie] and Dominick Giovanni's [Curley]. Collectively, they and the other actors capably convey all the right dimensions of the exteriors. [Richard Keitel]'s staging also brings out nuances well.
