A federal database would have to be a must, however the burden of reporting should be at the employer level.

Excellent point!

One other point is that I feel that the sponsoring employer should assume the financial and legal responsibilities of each guest worker. That would include healthcare expenses, legal expenses and even the cost of incarcaration if necessary. If that means that the employer has to post a bond for each guest worker...so be it.
