Guest worker programs are amnesty with another name.

Just ask the Germans, Dutch, French, etc. how well "guest worker" programs work out.  The European treatment of North African/Middle Eastern immigrants as second-class citizens has had amazing results.

I think that Lind is right about the first step -- the chaotic system in place now provides no chance for "justice" in any form.  By coupling even-handed, consistent, and fair enforcement with amnesty, there's a chance here for a middle-ground solution that's a political winner.  And it's a step toward real national security, the kind that warrantless wiretaps can't provide.
