Answer:

C. They wanted to hire people who work for the lowest wages to increase profits.

Explanation:

In the 1800s, women did not have many opportunities to work outside the home, most careers were male dominated, while women raised children at home. Children had even fewer working opportunities. The factory owners took advantage of these facts. They often paid women and children low wages because they wouldn't get more money anywhere else, and extreme poverty forced them into the workforce.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Could stay in the country for a short time as "guest workers".

Explanation:

Guest workers were allowed to temporarily stay in the country to serve as low-skill workers that did jobs like forestry, tourism, farming, etc. The idea of guest workers aimed to reduce poverty levels and provide a way for illegal immigrants to gain citizenship without having to stay in their original country, which were often places where citizens had no rights and/or lived in extreme poverty. Guest workers often found themselves working for corrupt employers that made these illegal immigrants pay large fees to even get a chance to become a guest worker. So, while the idea was good in theory; corrupt, greedy employers made it practically impossible for illegal immigrants to be able to obtain their goal of citizenship.
