Thanks. Here is the salient passage:

" Providing Incentives for Return to Home Country: The program will require the return of temporary workers to their home country after their period of work has concluded. The legal status granted by this program would last three years, be renewable, and would have an end."

That little word "end" at the end, so spare, so unadorned, raises a lot of questions and conundrums to say the least. What is the "end" game for those who have been guests here for six years legally?

Some would return home, maybe, and some...

# Fair and Meaningful Citizenship Process: Some temporary workers will want to remain in America and pursue citizenship. They should not receive an unfair advantage over those who have followed the law, and they will need to be placed in line for citizenship behind those who are already in line. Those who choose the path of citizenship will have an obligation to learn the facts and ideals that have shaped America's history.

# Reasonable Annual Increase of Legal Immigrants: A reasonable increase in the annual limit of legal immigrants will benefit those who follow the lawful path to citizenship.

The stipulation against receiving an unfair advantage is wordplay. Legalized illegal aliens would have to get "behind those who are already in line" for citizenship, after jumping the line for guest workers.
