Revolutionizing Immigration: How Guest Worker Visas Could Transform American Labor
The article discusses the importance of creating an expanded and lightly regulated guest worker visa program as part of immigration reform. The goal is to efficiently connect foreign workers with American employers with minimal government interference. This program would help divert unauthorized immigration into the legal system, reduce the informal economy, support economic growth, and decrease the government's involvement in immigration. The key approach is to let market forces and security concerns determine which workers get visas. The main findings suggest that a successful guest worker visa program could bring many benefits to the United States.
