Abstract:

The right strategy to stop illegal workers would give DHS the resources and authority to target large-scale employers in the sectors of the economy where undocumented workers are most present. Additionally, any temporary worker program should serve to strengthen, rather than undermine, the value of citizenship and the health of civil society.
