I still think the idea of a strictly enforced and monitored "guest worker" program, offers the best alternative for both business and the workers. Come over, work for the period required, pay taxes and then go home.

Why? Why do we need them to come here to begin with?

If we can strictly enforce a "guest worker" program, then we can strictly enforce a "no worker" program.

I don't know if we need them here or not ---but a guest worker program could allow them to be screened and background-checked and could be set up to encourage them to return home ---which is what many who actually come to work here intend to do anyhow. Those planning to get on welfare of course or take good jobs of course don't plan on going back. We definitely don't need those filling up our government housing projects but some of the agricultural and domestic workers aren't here to mooch.

I've not seen a lot of Americans doing the menial farm and ranch jobs they fill. I've not seen a lot of Americans doing the motel maid and maintenance they fill, just to name a few.
