What's your solution? Do you support building a massive wall?

I wish I could convince myself that it was as simple as just building a big wall. Immigration enforcement at the border (and the airport) is a large part of it but we also need to do the following:

-- Visa enforcement for people who enter on temporary visas. Visa's up, gotta go - now.
-- Employer sanctions - and if this means steamrollering the judiciary, good.
-- Punishment in the form of foreign aid restrictions or trade sanctions for countries, especially Mexico, who try to dump their social problems on the US.
-- Punishment for countries (Mexico again) who send us their criminal class. Each time a Mexican national in the US gets a DUI, Mexico should take a hit in their foreign aid payments. Someone commits a murder, they take a bigger hit. If the penalties exceed the foreign aid budget, start with trade sanctions.
-- Put an end to "Chain Immigration". Sorry but we can't provide welfare and social security to the whole planet.
-- Immediate deportation of anyone with an outstanding felony warrant.
-- Immediate cut-off of all federal funds to any city, county or state that violates immigration policy by declaring themselves a "sanctuary" for illegals or otherwise restricts the enthusiastic cooperation of their law enforcement agencies in the enforcement of our immigration laws. This tactic worked in the deep south for integration in the mid sixties. It'll work even better on California cities today.

That's a start. I'm sure there are more things that need to be done but that would get us started.
