Temporary Alien Workers in the United States: Designing Policy From Fact and Opinion: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Temporary Alien Workers in the United States: Designing Policy From Fact and Opinion" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The most controversial and significant aspect of U.S. immigration policy concerns those persons who enter the country illegally in order to seek employment. It is known that a significant proportion of the temporary immigrants remain--authorities estimate that between three and six million undocumented aliens live permanently in the U.S., a figure that grows by the hundreds of thousands each year--but other aspects of the issue are less clear. There is no consensus about how the importation of foreign workers affects the U.S. labor market, nor about the desirability of some system to identify temporary workers living legally in the U.S. Neither is there agreement about the effect of curtailing the flow of workers from Mexico on that countrys internal political structure. This book brings together current knowledge about temporary workers in the U.S. and examines the various issues that are likely to shape future policy. The authors place particular emphasis on recent proposals made by the Reagan administration and on other recommendations now under consideration by Congress. The book is not political in the sense of being for or against any particular program; rather, it seeks to clarify the many issues by setting forth what is known and by critically analyzing the options.

"Temporary" Alien Workers in the United States
A Westview Replica Edition
The concept of Westview Replica Editions is a response to the continuing crisis in academic and informational publishing. Library budgets for books have been severely curtailed. Ever larger portions of general library budgets are being diverted from the purchase of books and used for data banks, computers, micromedia, and other methods of information retrieval. Interlibrary loan structures further reduce the edition sizes required to satisfy the needs of the scholarly community. Economic pressures (particularly inflation and high interest rates) on the university presses and the few private scholarly publishing companies have severely limited the capacity of the industry to properly serve the academic and research communities. As a result, many manuscripts dealing with important subjects, often representing the highest level of scholarship, are no longer economically viable publishing projects--or, if accepted for publication, are typically subject to lead times ranging from one to three years.
Westview Replica Editions are our practical solution to the problem. We accept a manuscript in camera-ready form, typed according to our specifications, and move it immediately into the production process. As always, the selection criteria include the importance of the subject, the work's contribution to scholarship, and its insight, originality of thought, and excellence of exposition. The responsiblity for editing and proofreading lies with the author or sponsoring institution. We prepare chapter headings and display pages, file for copyright, and obtain Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data, a detailed manual contains simple instructions for preparing the final typescript, and our editorial staff is always available to answer questions.
The end result is a book printed on acid-free paper and bound in sturdy library-quality soft covers. We manufacture these books ourselves using equipment that does not require a lengthy make-ready process and that allows us to publish first editions of 300 to 600 copies and to reprint even smaller quantities as needed. Thus, we can produce Replica Editions quickly and can keep even very specialized books in print as long as there is a demand for them.

There is no consensus about how the importation of foreign workers affects the U.S. labor market, nor about the desirability of some system to identify temporary workers living legally in the U.S. Neither is there agreement about the effect of curtailing the flow of workers from Mexico on that country's internal political structure.

Guide
Our purpose in preparing this study is to have an impact on the immigration legislation now under consideration in the U.S. Congress. We approached this objective mainly by addressing the central issues which must be included in any legislation on foreign temporary workers. Our examination deals primarily with the theory and practice of using foreign temporary workers and its impact on the labor market in the United States, the foreign policy implications of a legal U.S. guest worker program, and the issue of amnesty for persons who have resided illegally in the United States for a protracted period. We also have addressed the specific provisions of the legislation now pending before the Congress, but have tried to place these in the context of the underlying theory and practice.
The format of this study is to examine first what is known about the use of foreign temporary workers. It is designed to dispel illusions and counteract unsubstantiated assertions made by advocates of one position or another. We then analyze what is ambiguous from the theory and past experience in order to set forth the basis for opposing positions and the value judgments that enter into them. Legislation, in our view, should build on the known and be fashioned from debate on the ambiguous.
We find much of value in the legislation submitted by the Reagan administration. We also find much that is unwise, including proposals that ignore what has been learned from experience and research. Good policy can not emerge from deliberate or unintended disregard of what is known, and yet much of the proposed policy does precisely that.
We wish to thank Diane Trevio for her work in getting the manuscript into final form. Kathy Lewis prepared the index under a tight deadline.

Introduction
Introduction
There are few subjects more controversial than immigration policy. At the same time, there are few issues more poignant in human terms. Immigration (or emigration) policy directly affects the lives of people and their families. The movement of human beings can have a profound impact on the economies of the sending and receiving countries, on the social structures in those nations, and ultimately on political systems.
