It also would it easier for those workers to get permanent U.S. citizenship.

Ummmm...I don't know where they are getting their information, but it is my understanding that those who are granted guest worker status under this program will not be given any advantage on the path to citizenship.

WH Press Release

Excerpt:

Some temporary workers will make the decision to pursue American citizenship. Those who make this choice will be allowed to apply in the normal way. They will not be given unfair advantage over people who have followed legal procedures from the start. I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship. Granting amnesty encourages the violation of our laws, and perpetuates illegal immigration. America is a welcoming country, but citizenship must not be the automatic reward for violating the laws of America.
