A decade of political infighting over comprehensive immigration
reform appears at an end, after the 2012 election motivated the
Republican Party to work with the Democratic Party's immigration
reform agendas. However, a guest worker program within current
reform proposals is generally overlooked by the public and by
activist organizations. Also overlooked is significant corporate
lobbying that affects legislation. This updated edition critically
examines the new guest worker program included in the White House
and Congressional bipartisan committee s immigration reform
blueprints and puts the debate into historical and contemporary
contexts. It describes how the influential U.S. Chamber of Commerce
and the AFL-CIO agreed on guidelines for a new guest worker program
to be included in the plan. Gonzalez shows how guest worker
programs stand within a history of utilizing controlled, cheap,
disposable labor with lofty projections rarely upheld. For courses
in a wide variety of disciplines, this timely text taps into trends
toward teaching immigration politics and policy.Features of the New
