I thought that under the proposed guest worker program, immigrant workers remained in this country at the pleasure of the employer.

If that's true, how does that enhance job security - or has the guest worker proposal changed?

It seems to me that people working under a guest worker program would have greater job security and freedom than undocumented workers currently have and might be more receptive to organizing.
