Stray thought on a guest worker program.

President Bush's "guest worker" program is a corporation's dream, not only because it will depress wages across a secondary tier of industries, but also because the companies will bear no long term liabilities for those workers.

They will only employ them during peak productive years, and then will face no long term liabilities for retirement, healthcare, etc.

What do you think happens to a guest worker who is hurt on the job and can no longer work?
