I'm not sure the illegal immigrant problem can be solved without solving some social problems here at home.

Illegal immigrants on the whole do the jobs that the poor used to do, before welfare & other social programs made it more profitable for them not to work. Minimum wage & social security laws are also a problem for some of these jobs...not profitable to hire someone legally.

The jobs need to be done, and if no one who is here legally will do them, the employers have a motivation to hire illegals (who WILL show up regularly, and WILL do the work).

I'm not sure I know the answer, and I feel the government should be doing more to stop illegals, but I don't think the problem will be solved until the above is addressed.
