This report outlines concerns with the U.S. guestworker program for unskilled laborers (called the H-2 program), such as "Holding the 'Deportation Card'" (imbalance of power between employer and worker), wage and hour abuses, contract violations, and denial of medical benefits for on-the-job injuries. Provides recommendations for improving the guestworker program, which the report finds is "inherently abusive and should not be expanded in the name of immigration reform."
