Continuing dialogue with Micah Sifry: Hope, health, activism and results
So what do you think about a guest worker program? Clearly we have room in the economy for guest workers, wherever they come from. But similar programs have caused all kinds of social unrest in Europe (specifically France and Germany). Do you think it could work here?
I think a guest worker program could work if carefully structured. The problem with the unrest in the countries you mention is that there is widespread abuse and corruption. If it could be structured in a way that ensured fair treatment for citizen and guest alike, I wouldn't have a problem with it. However, I have no faith in our current officials' ability to think creatively and work through the issues in an honest and upright manner. Hysteria and rhetoric seem to be the order of the day.
Chris,
Whatever you do, don't hold back. Let it all out...you'll feel better.
