According to a 10 month investigation by Newsday, New York has the nation’s highest rate of immigrant deaths in the workplace. The investigation found that government agencies fail to satisfactorily investigate immigrant deaths, enforce laws prohibiting the hire of illegal immigrants, and provide timely compensation for victims and families. Foreign-born workers account for three out of every 10 work related deaths.
