   Cynthia Rice, an attorney with California Rural Legal Assistance Inc. - which is representing the workers - said their allegations challenge the wisdom of the Bush administration's plan to change the H-2A program to make it faster and easier for employers to recruit workers from abroad and deter hiring illegal immigrants.
   
   The changes will reduce oversight by state and federal officials, who must certify labor shortages and approve sponsoring employers' applications before U.S. officials abroad issue visas, Rice said.
   
   As it is, she said, the H-2A program can give employers "complete and exclusive and total control over workers."
   
   The men in the Clarksburg camp said the 180 H-2A workers are being housed at various locations.Some have returned to Mexico.
   
   Rice said the workers never received a written contract of rights and terms of employment, as required under federal law.
