Some would like to stay. Some just want to work, send money home and then go back home themselves. Lots of seasonal guest workers here in VT, winter and summer. Particularly in the ski industry. My wife does work for a local free clinic on occasion. Last winter she had some fun conversations with guest workers from Jamaica and other places in the Caribbean. Seems some love coming to VT during our snowy winters. Our ski industry couldn't function without them. Simply not enough warm bodies up here, so any and all are more than welcome to come, work for awhile, even stay permanently if they chose. Guess that's what separates us from the hateful magats who's own rottenness harms their own economy. They're such fucking idiots on so many levels.
