"I’m all for anyone from any country coming in on a “Guest” worker visa."

I commend you for the first honest attempt to find a solution on the thread yet.

The source of the problem is a huge hole in our labor pool. As long as that remains unfilled, there will be illegals coming.

Minus illegal labor, we are on the order of 10-20 million bodies short to fill the low skill jobs that need filling.

That is the cause, everything else is a symptom.
