I think his plan is missing a key element....that is ceasing all forms of welfare style assistance to these people except for emergencies. This is key to forcing employers to offer a livable wage to everyone, not just illegals. As long as most employers know that the taxpayers will be socked with supplementing their workers living expenses wages will continue to be very low and probably heading lower.

And you can take that to the bank. The wages of Americans are going down, the wages of Mexicans are going up, and when they level off, the border between Mexico and the United States will have ceased to exist.

However, solve that problem, and don't solve the problem of exporting jobs, and we still have a major problem.
