I'd like to see a much more sophisticated temporary worker program. In an ideal situation, we bring workers over, spend a bit of time and money educating them, place them, encourage them to continue connections to their native country and make it difficult for them to achieve immigration status, and then send them home after five, ten or twenty-year terms. They get all the money they'll likely need to retire in their home country if their good with their savings (and the program can help with that), they bring skills and ideas home with them, and we get workers who won't be a drain on our system when they cease being useful as workers.
