The guest workers work in the US_of_A for the designate period; return to their country to then return to the US_of_A for the next year's season.
Similar programs exist in Canada.
These people have no interest in any program where they have to work. It's much easier to cross the border, disappear into the general population and get on a benefits program. These people know the laws of America better than me and you. They know that they can show up at any hospital in the US and get free healthcare. They know that hundreds of them name Jose Hernandez and US authorities can't find them as they assimilate into various neighborhoods. This has been going on for decades. They have figured out how to cheat the system. They can buy you and sell you for two pesos and you won't even know.
Donald Trump Paid $1.4 Million in a Dispute Over Undocumented Workers. Read the Newly Unsealed Legal Papers

Donald Trump quietly paid $1.4 million in 1998 to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged he stiffed a union pension fund by employing undocumented Polish laborers to demolish a department store to make way for Trump Tower.
The amount became public this week after a judge released previously sealed settlement documents in response to a motion filed by Time Inc. and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in 2016.
“This Order shall remain confidential in accordance with the parties’ agreement at the October 26, 1998 settlement conference,” reads the settlement agreement, which was signed on Dec. 30, 1998, by District Court Judge Thomas P. Griesa of New York’s Southern District.
The case originated in the summer of 1980, when Trump was under pressure to finish the demolition of the Bonwit Teller building on Fifth Avenue in New York City so that he could begin construction on his signature project, the Trump Tower.
As noted in an Aug. 25, 2016, story in TIME, Trump hired a group of undocumented Polish laborers who put in “12-hour shifts with inadequate safety equipment at subpar wages that their contractor paid sporadically, if at all.”
Their hiring led to years-long litigation that Trump finally settled in 1998.
