I believe that the only way to get a handle on the problem will be a bit draconian simply because we have allowed the problem of illegals to get so large.
First, secure the border, then;
No bennies or medical care of any sort. No schooling, no housing, no welfare, no work, no driver’s licenses or state ID cards, no anchor baby nonsense, no marrying a legal resident or citizen, nothing, nada, zip, zilch, zero.
If a bracero type program were implemented, I would not favor them paying SS or income tax because then they’d be back sucking on the public teat. They’d get all of their income tax back and then some, anyway.
I’m with you on hammering any business that hires illegals. We would need some sort of E-verify system though to protect the employers.

No doubt, anyone that does what has to be done better have extra large asbestos underwear.
