You can not round up 20 million illegals. So you have to make it worthwhile for them to self-deport.
First of all, absolutely cut-off all government aid to illegals. That will be extremely difficult in states like California. The bleeding hearts and Latin racist organizations will freak out. With our present debt-based, fiat money financial system, government will simply be expected to print more money to pay for these leftist projects.
That reduces the top incentive - no medicaid, no foodstamps, no education, no hospital visits, no sanctuary cities (must be penalized also)
After that, then actively police employers. Take down some employers in highly public show-cases, with massive fines to owners. Most businesses will then begin to self-regulate.
Removing the government aid and incentives though will be EXTREMELY difficult and politically fraught. After all, its a key part of the business model of the Democrat Party. Think of how the left reacted to Bush in 2006 - and then triple the media and political pressure.

I think we have no idea how bad it will be. With the MSM as accomplices, we will see never ending stories about the evil Republicans starving people, and even worse will be the stories about the ones not on assistance, who have worked, raised kids, played by the rules except for being here illegally.
Also as one poster advocated for “civic forfeiture” a few posts ago, can you imagine the debacle of seizing legal property, removing screaming kids from houses, etc.
Wait until all that hits the nightly TV lib-fest.
We’ve just spent 7 years watching a Muslim, American Hating, Commie get away with everything he’s wanted, and people believe their dreams of the deportation of 30 million people is just gonna manifest?
All of this still has to go through a feckless Congress, and will surely make 4-5 trips through the courts?
I have a feeling I will be long fertilizing tomato plants (assumed room temperature) before the first non-criminal (not including immigration status) ever be-bops back across that southern border.
The Wall? Yep, it can and will get done.
Getting the criminals out, and ending Sanctuary cities? yep it can get done.
The rest? I’ll be happy if it does, but I ain’t holding my breath.
Hell, the morons today just announced they are denying asylum to the ONLY Middle Easterners that I would even consider allowing to come here, the Christians. But by golly the rest of DC is all for allowing all the Muzzies that want to come here, to “come on in”.
We have college kids calling 911 because they have a mouse in the apartment.
I hate to rain on everyone’s happy parade, but unless we are gonna turn the next President into a Dictator, and quash all dissent, I don’t see it being reality, at least for sometime, certainly not in 4 years.
For goodness sake, we cant get 100 Americans to agree on what the words “...the right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed upon” means.
I watched a woman yesterday sit in a Congressional hearing and brag about making $580,000 a year to oversee an organization that carried out the murder of a live-born child, on film, so that it’s face could be cut open, and it’s brain harvested for profit.
The MSM, and Libs are calling her brave, and courageous, and PP still has a 60% approval number in the last poll I saw.
Like I said, I’ll be happy if it happens as some have predicted, but I’ll just be happy if Putin, and Xi don’t start marching across Europe, and Asia in the next year, and we don’t have an ISIS (or Iranian backed) terrorist group smuggle a few suitcase Nukes into the country in the next year.
