At the end of their temporary status. almost all of these workers would have to go home. That means at the end of the first 3 years. we would have at least 1.2 million of these new guestworkers. in the country w ith only 30.000 having any real hope of getting to stay. As we have learned with misguided immigration policies in the past. it is naive to think that people who do not have a way to stay legally will just abide by the system and leave. They wont. The current group of undocumented immigrants will be replaced by a new group of secondclass workers who will place downward pressure on American wages and working conditions. And when their time is up. they will go into the shadows where our current system exploits the undocumented today.*
