Democrats plan to force vote on Arizona immigration law if it’s upheld by court

Yes, that is the standard response from those who don't really want reform. Unfortunately it's impossible to stop illegal immigration -- and it has already been slowed -- so that is not a valid reason to put off reform. This is a lot like the completely ineffective "war on drugs". You can't win this fight through interdiction. As long as there is a demand there will be a supply. It's obvious that, for many years (though not now due to the weak economy), there was a strong demand for immigrant workers. We should respond to that demand by increasing quotas. I agree with you that a better guest worker program is needed. We should also stop forcing immigrants to leave after they come here and obtained a valuable education.

Your response is standard for those that want to turn a blind eye and give in without doing anything concrete. We can agree on the better guest program.
You most likely won't like this, but here it goes.
Do what ever it takes to eliminate the "birth right" of a child of illegal parents born in the US.
Find a way to address the illegal alien crossing and continue to slow the influx of illegal aliens across the US borders.
Improve the guest worker (migrant) program,
Increase penalities to companies and illegal workers who do not follow immigrant worker laws.
Allow States to play a greater law in assisting the Feds in controlling the influx of illegal aliens.

Reimburse the States/county/local LE and medical facilities for all costs incured dealing with illegal aliens. (especially if illegal the feds continue with the stance of illegal immigration is only a federal domain issue).
