Features I would like to see in work-card legislation:
-- Make the cards only for those coming in. If you issue it to those already here, you encourage them to come in illegally on the hope of getting the card after they arrive.
-- Require references, both family and friends living back in the home country and those they know here in Utah. This way, when it comes time to leave, you have a way of tracking them down.
-- Make the guest worker subject to all obligations of citizens, paying taxes.
-- Make the card valid only while a job is maintained. If the job is lost and the person doesn't quickly grab another, he (or she) must leave. The idea here is to cut down on guest workers gravitating onto our welfare rolls.
