"If we shipped all the illegals out of the country tomorrow, what would happen to american manufacturing and the agriculture sector? Okay, now if that can't work, what do you propose to suggest?"

Your assumption is that Illegals working here are vital to our economy. No, American citizens working here are vital.
Dislocations in some businesses that have used illegal labor will happen, and the results should be borne by them.
If it requires (heaven forbid) higher wages paid to American citizens then so be it..the impact will be less than a 5% increase in inflation well tolerable. With More Americans working the increase in payroll will quickly put the lie to the assumption that America needs cheap labor.
As for a guest worker program: An old solution was You have a sponsor here in America to bring you here> the sponsor is responsible for your welfare and work.
Those businesses that need this labor will have more expenses to start a system to provide a sponsor (sponsor could be a corp or business not just individual)
The guest worker signs up with INS at border check points/or consular sites in Mexico and Canada. is verified by them..then a computer listing of guestworkers is provided to sponsors..the sponsor then applies for those workers it needs. we could go into deeper detail but you get the idea..it is not so hard nor is it unfair. We get labor that is identified and limited and control of where they are..so when after 12 months they must leave and reapply. If not the sponsor bears legal consequences if guest workers violate their length of stay.

"We get labor that is identified and limited and control of where they are..so when after 12 months they must leave and reapply."

Leave and do what? They leave anyway around christmas, spend a whole lot of their money in mexico, and then come back when its warm and start the cycle again.

"If not the sponsor bears legal consequences if guest workers violate their length of stay."

This sounds reasonable.

As for "{PS dyslexia, m for n??", i was just messing with you.
