The most controversial and significant aspect of U.S. immigration
policy concerns those persons who enter the country illegally in
order to seek employment. It is known that a significant proportion
of the "temporary" immigrants remain--authorities estimate that
between three and six million undocumented aliens live permanently
in the U.S., a figure that grows by the hundreds of thousands each
year--but other aspects of the issue are less clear. There is no
consensus about how the importation of foreign workers affects the
U.S. labor market, nor about the desirability of some system to
identify temporary workers living legally in the U.S. Neither is
there agreement about the effect of curtailing the flow of workers
from Mexico on that country's internal political structure. This
book brings together current knowledge about temporary workers in
the U.S. and examines the various issues that are likely to shape
future policy. The authors place particular emphasis on recent
proposals made by the Reagan administration and on other
recommendations now under consideration by Congress. The book is
not political in the sense of being for or against any particular
program; rather, it seeks to clarify the many issues by setting
forth what is known and by critically analyzing the options.
