How would the Krieble Foundation’s privatization plan work?
It’s a simple solution. Private employment agencies would be allowed to open offices in foreign countries, and authorized to issue temporary guest worker visas. The visas would have to be “smart cards” with a photograph, a fingerprint or other biometric identification data, and information encoded in a magnetic strip so that border agents, police, and employers could swipe the card and know who the holder is, where he works, where he lives, who issued the visa, when it expires, and any other required information. Employment agencies would be licensed by the government and would be required to run criminal background checks before issuing guest worker visas, much like gun shops do today. Employers would simply post jobs with employment agencies like they do today. Best of al, the program would be funded by user fees, not taxpayers.
