Occurrences

In addition, we must employ an effective temporary worker program to allow employers to hire workers to meet demand and grow our economy. This program will allow workers to enter the United States legally to work in industries where there is a workforce shortage, then return to their home countries when a job is complete. This program should be focused on accountability, prevent immigrants with a criminal history from entering and require immigrants to return home when their position is no longer needed.

Carter commits to a temporary worker program with legal entry, accountability, criminal-history screening, and required return home after the job ends.

Carter’s current official issue page still states the temporary worker-program promise, but this is a statement of position rather than evidence of enactment or implementation. It indicates the promise remains unresolved as of the latest crawl.

Carter noted that work remains on the final Homeland Security appropriations bill, which funds critical agencies including Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and FEMA.

In the last several months Carter’s official actions and messaging have centered on border-security funding, not on creating or implementing a temporary worker program. This is adjacent activity only, so it does not show delivery of the specific promise.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

The cited evidence shows Carter continuing to advocate for a temporary worker program, but it does not show enactment or implementation of a program matching the promise: legal entry for temporary work tied to workforce shortages with required return when jobs end. The later Carter activity described is border-security and appropriations work, which is adjacent to immigration policy but not delivery of the promised worker program. Because Carter remains in federal office and the promise is still stated as a policy position rather than shown as fulfilled or definitively failed, the best adjudication is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
