I would like to sound a note of warning regarding the proposed guest worker programme - you really don't want to repeat Europe's mistakes. Germany had one for Turkish workers, and the net effect was to create a more or less permanent underclass who felt no connection to the country in which they lived. Furthermore, guest workers tend to stay longer than you'd expect a guest to linger.

You know, to be honest this makes me uneasy as well. Thanks.
I have a couple of questions about it though. Are we more upwardly mobile in the US in general, or is that a common misconception? I have felt that perhaps with a less socialistic economy, there was more of a chance for upward movement.
I'd love to hear your perspective.
