We have a guest worker program right now.

Really? Than can you please explain to me the mechanism by which the "guest" part of "guest worker" is enforced?

Also--Can you please show me where "guest worker" programs have been successful anywhere else in the world? (definition of successful="guest workers" go home.)

I heard an NPR piece on the radio about the guest workers that harvest potatos in Idaho. They come by bus from Mexcio, and leave by bus to Mexico. The problem with the program, is that the government takes months to process the paper work. The guest workers get paid more than the illegals (about 2 bucks an hour more), but have higher productivity, according to one farmer who was interviewed.
