But right now, at this point in history, what does having a guest worker program do for the country? There aren't enough jobs for everybody. Americans will do grunge work when they 'run out of money and credit cards'. Especially young people. When I was in college in the 60s, lots of students worked the factory lines, esp. at Tyson Foods. The company made adaptations for parttimers and student night shifts. My husband did this. Those jobs are gone now for U of A students. I tried employment at a local hosiery factory. It was an assembly line with upright plastic legs rolling by. One had a few seconds to pull a shapeless mass of steaming hot nylon out of a steaming hot vat and pull them over the rolling legs before the legs disappeared into a steamer/shaper contraption. One was docked for legs that came out the other side without hose on them or hose improperly fitted. I lasted 11 days. :)
