Temporary work permits. Not a path to citizenship, which they do nothing
t want if they can come and work part of the year. We already do it with
H-1 visas, screwing those citizens with STEM degrees.

I would give a work permits to anyone who pays FICA taxes and stays
out of trouble.
The ironic thing is the IRS may actually be getting less money because
of the immigration crackdowns. Back when 3 or 4 people were using the
same SS# they were collecting withholding and FICA from all of them
and only one could actually file a return. The reality is they had to
have enough taken out to insure they didn't have to and nobody filed.
(those tax refunds stayed in DC) The FICA tax was first dollar and
they were never going to be able to collect benefits because they
would not have the documents to get by SSA.
A friend of mine had a lawn service and he knew most of his guys were
illegal. He still collected taxes and sent it in like they were. Every
year he got a letter from the IRS saying there might be a problem with
the SS# but they didn't really want him to do anything and it said in
big bold print "Do not use this letter as a reason to terminate the
employee"
They knew it would cost them money
