For an alphabetical listing all of the nonimmigrant visa classifications and specific requirements refer to the USCIS website. or the U.S. Department of State website.
Sometimes I wonder if the attacks on the Undocumented isn't an attack on California agribusiness.
The sales value (click here) generated by California
agriculture increased by 4.6 percent between the 2012 and 2013 crop years. The State’s 77,9000 farms and ranches received $46.4 billion for their output, up from the $44.3 billion received in 2012. California’s increase in revenue was led by the dairy industry followed by the almond and grape industries, respectively....
California agribusiness contributes heavily to the USA GDP and it should not be tampered with when it comes to harvests of agricultural products. There are several farm unions that California can work with to guarantee worker safety while employed by a farmer.

California could ask farmers to organize. By doing so they bring economic power to the legislative agenda. Farmers can grow their crops without immigrants, legal or otherwise, but, they can't harvest them.
In realizing this will become an emergency the state of California needs to have a plan in place that will allow "temporary workers" into the state to assist in harvesting.
When considering the economic state of Mexico's tourism, the worst thing that can happen is alienation of Mexican workers from California agriculture. There is no time for funding of studies regarding California and it's need of the Undocumented. The California legislature needs to problem solve this issue and the federal government needs to act to provide some degree of Visas to those that come to work in the harvest of California.
Part of what the California legislature needs to bring to a focus is the global inequity that parallels the income inequality of Americans. It is referred to as "The Elephant Chart." (cilck here)
Brookings:
...In doing so, we find that the primary narrative is one of convergence: Poorer countries, and the lower income groups within those countries, have grown most rapidly in the past 20 years. The data do not support the idea that the poorest people are being left behind, nor that the richest are taking all the income gains....
Basically, the global wealth is concentrated in a few countries as well as a few individuals. That makes it nearly impossible for a country like Mexico to pull out of impoverishment because it's citizens are unable to grow an economy that benefits the population. In Mexico, in particular, the impoverishment has meet with organized crime of drug cartels and simply gangs that have no other means of making a living. The impoverishment of Mexico, with few people to grow their economy through investment is compounded by a collapsing Mexican currency.
Case in point:
Unhappy: Carlos Slim (pictured, here in 2011) has slipped from being the world's richest man to sixth position
Mexico's richest man, Carlos Slim, (click here) has seen his personal fortune shrink by $16 billion because of Donald Trump. When Trump launched his presidential bid on June 15, 2015, the Mexican telecoms tycoon's wealth stood at $67 billion. As a result of Trump reaching the White House and the consequent slide in the Mexican currency, the peso, Slim's fortune has slipped to $51 billion....
Now, I do not feel sorry for Mr. Slim exactly, but, he has been an investor that has reaped many financial rewards within the Latin American. His losses are only reflected by the fact when the migrant worker stays in Mexico rather than harvesting in California there is little alternate work for them. Mr. Slim's loss is also the loss of the people within his industries.
I am sure people like Mr. Slim know the economic dynamics of Mexico's failing tourist industry and the future of economic growth. They could speak to the need to have Mexicans working in the harvest fields of California.
Someone has to do something and certainly adding the National Guard to the southern border will only increase the deterrent of migrant workers to their much needed service in the agricultural fields of the USA.

I might add, this dynamic does not hit as hard in Red States where the product is mostly grain crops harvested by combines.
