There's a lot of difference in a guest worker and an illegal alien.

Guest worker can't give birth to a US citizen (while here LEGALLY)?
Guest worker can't avail itself of (unpaid) emergency medical services?
Guest worker can't drive a motor vehicle?
Guest worker can't get into an accident w/o insurance?
Guest worker can't rob a store?

etc.

In all practical terms, "guest worker" presents the same set of
"problems" that illegal aliens do. But, they've been "blessed"
by a system that winks when someone CLAIMS they can't find US
citizens to do the work.

If that is REALLY REALLY true, you wouldn't mind putting up a BOND
for each guest worker that you employ? That bond would cover any
expenses/damages that the worker incurs while in this country
"legally".

E.g., if they need hospitalization, the BOND will pay for those expenses
if (when) the guest worker skips out.

If they get in a car wreck, the BOND will cover the lawsuit filed
against the guest worker (even in absentia).

If they commit a crime and end up incarcerated, the BOND will
pay the costs of housing them in that detention facility.

etc. After all, the reason they are here is because you COULD NOT get
US citizens to do the work for you. So, without them, you'd be OUT OF
BUSINESS! Surely, you'd not hesitate to ensure the taxpayer doesn't
end up footing the bill for ancillary costs associated with your guest
worker's presence, here?

Of course, knowing that all he has to do (when he gets in a car wreck)
is just shrug and turn over the "BOND identification" to the
injured driver, you can *bet* there will be a fair number of claims
on those bonds!

Then, employers who make bad choices in the particular workers to whom
they give "guest" status will see their bonding costs increase! Those
employers that exercise more care in their choices, won't!

I.e., THE MARKET sorts out the mess and penalizes those who should be
(not the taxpayers!)

Guest
workers have permission to be in the country for a limited period of time
such as for harvesting crops. It worked well in the past before the feds
dropped the ball on immigration. Park rangers will tell you,"Don't feed the
bears." Illegal aliens will self deport if there's no way for them to make
money. If the government will really go after employers who hire illegals,
making the risk of being caught serious enough, those businesses will stop
doing it. Have you ever wondered why the federal government will go after a
citizen rather than an illegal alien? It's because it's easier to find a
FRACKING CITIZEN! Lock up the food so the bears can't get to it and they'll
go away. o_O
