I think there's the answer. Make employing an illegal a "tort"* against society. Once a legal resident applies for a job and is refused by someone employing an illegal, they would have recourse to a state or local court. Problem solved. No need for additional gov't employees.

*Any attorneys wishing to fine tune the language, apply within.

The problem is not the illegals as much as the employers. They would never allow their cheap labor force to be deported or themselves to be torted. They would be forced to pay a working wage to Americans, then they'd moan and whine about not making big enough profits and threaten to move their operations to Mexico so they won't STARVE to death. There are plenty of ideologicals out there willing to abolish the minimum wage, and to call you a socialist for not approving of the Mexican style class arrangement. They would rather see Americans living in shanties or under the bridge than to compensate those who make them their huge profits.
