Well. if the employer wants to hire a guest worker. the employer must advertise extensively before applying for a temporary worker. The employer must find out if any American responds to that. If they do. they get the job. So the employer has to advertise and the employer must hire any qualified American applicant. Temporary workers are restricted in areas with high unemployment. and employers cannot undercut American wages by paying temporary workers less. So we are saying the temporary workers are going to come in and be treated as American workers. and those who are undocumented are going to be treated as American workers. That is not the condition today. That is the condition in this legislation.
