Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, and John Kasich are firm supporters of expansion of guest worker visas.

Trump and Sanders oppose.



The H-1B is a dual-intent[1] temporary work visa, and most H-1B visa holders intend to stay here permanently, and eventually are sponsored green cards (permanent residency) by their employers.

Rubio, Cruz, et al have called for legislation that punishes employers that do not sponsor green cards for their H-1B employees (by restricting their ability to hire more H-1B workers).

So, no, most of them do not support "guest worker visas". They support permanent skilled immigration.
