Create a temporary worker program for labor shortages

Carter supports an effective temporary worker program that would let employers hire workers to meet demand and grow the economy. Workers would be allowed to enter the United States legally for jobs in industries with workforce shortages, then return to their home countries when the job is complete. He says the program should emphasize accountability, bar immigrants with a criminal history from entering, and require workers to return home when their position is no longer needed.
