Abstract
Changes in labor markets in the USA have stimulated a selective temporary migration. The constant restrictions, the criminalization of immigrant workers with and without papers, and the lack of regulation of recruitment politics of seasonal workers have activated a niche market. Qualified young people, with a J1 visa, occupy this transitory work market. Placement agencies have capitalized on the constant rotation of young people with the status of “non-immigrant.” This visa is granted to carry out activities of cultural and educational exchange. However, in practice, some programs do not fulfill this purpose. Based on a qualitative methodology focused on semi-structured interviews, this article aims to analyze three programs that recruit qualified young people with the aim of meeting student mobility objectives and find unrecognized work in the USA. It also aims to examine certain practices that involve the assurance of temporary non-immigrant workers who perform activities related to child care at low costs.
