“You shut down the magnets and many of those who are here illegally would self deport.”
True, and that would be a good start. However, to get rid of the real undesirables more would be required.
A person found within the United States, having entered illegally or having overstayed a visa, shall:
1. Receive fifty lashes on the back with a cat o’nine tails.
2. Be branded on both cheeks with the letter “B” for “border crasher,” said brand to be two inches tall.
3. Forfeit all monies and properties earned or amassed in the United States, wherever located.
4. Walk from where apprehended to the Mexican border on a diet of beans and tortillas, sleeping in the open.
5. While returning to Mexico, ejectees shall be guarded by armed men on horseback, and shall be shot on sight if attempting to escape.
6. On their journey, ejectees shall pick up trash, cut grass with scythes and other unpowered tools, trim roadside shrubbery, clean rest area toilets, and perform such other tasks as may be ordered, said tasks not to be unduly hazardous.
7. Any person seen with the letter “B” branded on the cheeks who is not a member of a guarded ejectee party may be shot and killed on sight by any U.S. citizen at any time.
8. Idiots may offer ejectees food and water if they like. The penalty for providing ejectees with arms or assisting them to escape shall be death by firing squad, following a guilty verdict in a trial to be conducted by three officers of the U.S. military.
9. Any attempt to bribe a guard is punishable by death, following a guilty verdict in a trial to be conducted by three officers of the U.S. military. A bribe can be monetary or in the form of goods and services, especially including carnal services.
10. Any guard accepting a bribe shall be executed following a guilty verdict in a trial to be conducted by three officers of the U.S. military.
11. When ejectees enter Mexico, U.S. Army or Marine ground forces shall be on site. If the Mexican government or organized crime attempt to stop the ejectees from returning to Mexico, U.S. ground forces shall engage and defeat them. Mexican government forces not killed in the engagement shall be allowed to flee if they surrender or abandon the fight. Gang members shall be killed to the last man, if possible.
12. After the great majority of illegal aliens have been ejected, two fences 20 feet tall and 50 feet apart shall be erected on the Mexican side of the border. The area between the fences shall be heavily planted with anti-personnel mines. Motion-sensor controlled machine guns shall be emplaced at intervals such that interlocking fields of fire can be brought to bear, leaving no gaps.
13. The organization known as “La Raza” and all similar groups are hereby designated domestic enemies of the Constitution. Active membership in such organizations shall be punished by death.
Announce that and see how long it takes them to self-deport.
While some of your ideas are intriguing, I have a REALLY RADICAL AND CRAZY IDEA: Why not just do what every other country does? Enforce our borders and existing immigration laws. I think that would do the trick.
