-
Biometric Identification
All applicants for entry or regularization would provide biometric data—fingerprints, photographs, and other reliable identifiers—to be stored in a secure national database. -
Initial Guest Worker Status
Applicants with no criminal history or documented problematic behavior would receive a three-year probationary guest-worker permit. During this period, participants would complete two brief online check-ins per year to document employment, school enrollment, skill-building activities, or other relevant information demonstrating productive engagement in the U.S. -
Affirmation of Legal Obligations
Each applicant must formally affirm that U.S. law is the governing legal authority during their stay and that they will abide by it. They may hold or discuss any belief system, but active efforts to substitute an alternative legal framework for U.S. law would violate the terms of the program and may lead to deportation. This functions as a contractual condition of temporary residency. -
Pathway to Citizenship
After three years of incident-free residence verified through the database, participants become eligible to apply for citizenship. Guest-worker status may also be renewed indefinitely for those who prefer it. Guest workers would pay taxes and receive the same financial benefits as citizens, with the exception of voting rights. -
Regularization of Undocumented Residents
Undocumented individuals currently residing in the United States could be admitted immediately into guest-worker status and begin the same three-year probationary period as new applicants. -
Criminal Conduct
Any criminal conviction during the probationary period would result in removal from the program and deportation. -
Additional Provisions
Other reasonable program requirements may be added to ensure security, compliance, and fairness.
A structured, probation-based approach like this offers a more practical and humane alternative to mass-deportation strategies while maintaining clear expectations, accountability, and respect for the rule of law.
