To protect native workers, the government of Country V stopped issuing visas to foreign workers, preventing them from working in Country V. As a direct result, the cost to certain domestic industries, corporations dependent on cheap labor in V, of producing several exports went up. This increase in labor costs sharply limited the ability of those corporations to compete effectively in their export markets.

Which of the following can be most properly inferred from the passage about the foreign workers whose visas the government of Country V stopped issuing?


(A) Those workers used to enter Country V in very small numbers, but they were essential to Country V's economy.

(B) Those foreign workers, after a certain amount of time, could have trained other workers in their respective trades, keeping labor costs low.

(C) If foreign workers in Country V returned to their native country, they would work for higher wages than they would have worked for in Country V.

(D) The government of Country V stopped issuing visas in part because some foreign workers demanded wage increases, raising labor costs.

(E) Those workers had been willing to produce exported goods for lower wages than were workers native to Country V
