(19,537 posts)If you want to be on an even paying field, advocate forgiving our kids college debt and free education. THEN we might be able to have a more level paying field even though our cost of living were our families live is often ten times more than those living overseas that allows them to work for less than the BIGGER investment our families have to bear who live here. Those doing these guest worker programs don't want to move here. They want to move back home when they are done, which is why Bangalore is the high tech capital of the world now and no longer Silicon Valley. Those who want to move here to live will want to be paid more when they do, which is NOT what the PTB want, which is why it takes often times 10 years or so to get citizenship when the PTB want a system to discourage this. These guest worker programs ARE corrupt tools of the wealthy, and need to be done away with and real immigration processes should be streamlined instead.
