Local law enforcement is just beginning to get involved, through the fairly new 287G plan. Give that a year, and we’ll start pushing a LOT of illegals who also break other laws OUT of the country. That’s a good first step.
Second, we crack down on employers — we are already doing that now some, and not only is it driving illegals away from the places it’s being done, but citizens and LEGAL immigrants are lining up to take those “jobs americans won’t do”.
We secure the border, build the fence, add the agents, and then if we see food rotting on the vine, we set up a guest worker program to handle it. We get the problem under control, and after a few million illegals give up and go home, we look at what we can do with those who have been here so long they have earned “squatter’s rights”.
Did you read Title III?

There were hefty fines for employers and a risk of criminal charges.
But at the core, we still don’t get at the benefits— if the government aid is cut it will have an immediate impact.
