Even as gandhi was working for balasumdaram, the south africans passed a new law designed to make life difficult for indians. if an indentured worker chose to stay past his or her contract and settle, the worker was slapped with an annual tax, which was a heavy burden for indians, who barely survived on their wages. the message was clear: you were brought to natal only as a guest worker; you have no right to stay. today in the united states we allow mexicans and people from central america to milk cows and to pick tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, and other crops, but congress has been deadlocked over the rules for allowing them to become residents or citizens. just like the whites in natal, we want the cheap labor but are reluctant to offer those same workers and their children a home in our country.
