Immigration Raids and a Guest Worker Program: We've Seen This Movie Before and it Wasn't That Great the First Time.

Journey through time, uncovering the lessons, parallels, and connections between historical milestones and current events to create a deeper understanding of the compelling stories and issues that shape the news.

As the ICE raids and massive deportations continue, labor shortages are inevitable, especially in the agricultural and construction industries. Someone will eventually propose a guest-worker program to flood the labor force with workers from south of the border. Fortunately, there is an example we can learn from, because the United States had a guest-worker program for twenty years. So if we are going to have a debate about bringing in temporary workers, then it is prudent to examine how it worked the last time.
