It works very well in Singapore ( Filipino, Indonesian and Thai domestic workers ) and Hongkong ( the same ).

We can learn from their example.

Yes. Just ask the Germans about all those Turks who were supposed to go home years ago. The Bracero program was successful in that it filled a manpower need in extremis which does not exist today nor has it since 1945. It also served to stimulate illegal immigration because the bracero workers had many benefits and wages that could not be matched in Mexico. Thus it enticed a flood of illegals on top of the legal braceros. The article does not say that by 1964 there were many problems getting the workers to go home and many never did.

This is a rehash of a failed concept by NYC businessmen who won't have to put up with the consequences of their choices.
