"He said this program requires these TEMPORARY workers to return to their countrywhen the work is done."

He also made it perfectly clear that they may bring family members along with them(making anchor babies ever so much more convenient). And who is going to send them back when their 3 years is up? I strongly doubt that we will have any better resources or tracking methods to send them back then.

Taiwan had a version of a "temporary worker" program several years ago where temporary workers were not allowed to have children or get married; those who got pregnant were deported. Taiwan may have changed the rules about pregnancy since then.

The problems with Taiwan's program included higher social costs and that some workers would "run away" from their original employers. I'm sure the US would have the same problems with trying to keep track of disappearing guest workers.

I doubt we could deport pregnant guest workers. It would probably violate their civil rights or something.
