Just wanted to clarify a segment of my OP: the homeless. In an effort to reduce the need for a guest worker program, my initial post suggested:

Using the Sheriff Joe Arpaio method, create tent-like minimum security jails for appropriate inmates, surrounding large agricultural areas. These centers could be used for low risk non-violent criminals, able-working homeless, new illegals that jump our double layered barb-wire fence, etc, etc, etc, etc.”

I would never want to place the able working homeless in the same agriculture grounds as the prisoners, but instead make it two separate institutions.
First, we would need to separate the homeless into: able-working and non-able working. Non-able workers are placed in mental hospitals, disabled living homes, rehabilitation, or jail/prisoner picking grounds if they turned homeless to dodge past legal action. The able-working homeless should have an opportunity for a home, a job, and additional living wages. There is a common industry that's given a description "A job that the average American won't do"...that's right: agriculture!
Acquire cheap housing in agricultural areas, provide a farm for them to work on, and earn their own money. It cleans up our streets, puts food in homeless’ mouths, gives them shelter, and contributes to a low wage American industry. Win-win-win.
