Short-term worker visas with very strict enforcement works quite well in many countries to provide needed lower paying job workers…. Hong Kong has such a program and there are over half a million workers there on contracts lasting up to two years. But if the job or the contract ends, they must be out of the country in 14 days or risk imprisonment.

Hong Kong is part of China, which has a comprehensive system of residency controls. In the US and Europe, short-term workers can usually stay because they eventually qualify for various residency and immigration permits. And if the Left is in power, the restrictions and limitations on short term workers get waived, no matter what the law says.
