Why not have another option for people who would not want to go the citizenship route but who could work. Some of these temporary worker permits in the underlying bill are limited to 3 years or 6 years. The SAFE visa Is not limited at all. As long as the person still qualifies and there is a willing employer. the employer can train someone and know that they will come every year and be able to keep that training. It is a 10month program. but any employer can figure out that they would hire one group of workers in January and another in March. so they would have a full year employment if they dont have a seasonal business and the jobs they need to fill are not filled by Americans. which is also part of the amendment.
