Fourth, new laws should provide incentives for temporary, foreign workers to return permanently to their home countries after their period of work in the United States has expired.

This doesn't make sense. If they wanted to stay in their home countries, they wouldn't come to the USA in the first place.

Many temporary workers just want to save enough money to start their own business back in their motherlands, or buy some land to build a farm.

After all, in many of those countries, a small nest egg is what is necessary to start their own business, or buy some land for their family.

Which is why the assertion is that the new laws should provide incentives for them to return home. Bush's proposal includes such an incentive (and while I am about to specify what it is, do not take me doing so as advocacy of the proposal).

What Bush is proposing is that those in this work program will have the equivalent of social security withholding taken out of every paycheck and put into a fund. When they leave, they get their money back. So basically if they work a few years, there is what amounts to a cash bonus for them to get out.
