These are all good suggestions for curbing illegal immigration. I would add only a few others:

Streamline the processing and adjudication of immigration cases;

Increase coordination at the federal level by eliminating barriers to information sharing among agencies;

Leverage state and local enforcement resources by giving them a more expanded role in immigration enforcement;

Ensure that anyone who enters this nation illegally is not rewarded by being permitted to stay and work here; i.e., no amnesty. Attrition thru enforcement is the way forward;

In addition to enforcement we need to change our legal immigration policies by:

Formulating a merit based immigration system that brings in the skills and talents to keep us competitive in the global economy;

Reducing immigration levels based on need more closely approximating 300,000 a year, which is almost replacement level;

Eliminating extended chain migration, i.e., family reunification, limiting it to the nuclear family;

Promoting pro-immigrant measures that help newcomers assimilate and embrace the values and principles of our Founders and the Constitution

Thank you. Excellent suggestions on the legal side as well. Yes, chain migration and allowing in unskilled immigrants need to go.

We need to kill H-1B and have a moratorium on all immigration for at least a generation. The melting pot is now a salad and we need to assimilate what we got now. You are so wrong headed I don’t know where to begin.
