The admission of workers for specific jobs and employers provides better protection for U.S. labor. assuring that foreign workers will work only in jobs where it has been certified that no American workers are available. Furthermore. the H2 system provides better control. The INS will know where each worker is located and can better assure their return home when the visa has expired. Although I have discussed those reform plans with Mexican leaders in my time in Mexico. they never indicated to me. oddly enough. that any massive guest worker program in the United States would be desirable or beneficial to the Mexican Government. Finally. the European experience. as I say. indicates that these large programs lead eventually to nothing but increased pressures for both legal and illegal immigration.
