Perhaps you are confusing the problem of ongoing illegal immigration with that of existing illegal aliens? The solutions suggested would certainly resolve the latter, but not the former.

I am not confusing the two and the solutions offered would most certainly solve them both. The fact is you are creating a false duality. Those who are here were once there. Those who are there (and coming) will be here. Take away the reasons for being here and both those who are here and those thinking of coming here will opt for being there.
