Massive deportations will not work, but let's start with:

Felons.
Jailbirds.
Gang members.
Those previously ordered deported.
Reconquista activists (the rallies would be a good place to start).
Those who have exercised rights reserved for citizens, such as voting.
Those suckling from the public teat.
Those crowding the ER's for routine medical care.
Those driving without licenses and/or insurance.
Those using phony ID's.

Once the above are deported, I'd be willing to see a million or so work permits issued.

Then a few more once some additional milestones are met such as:
Deportation of those who have lived here a long time and shown no inclination or desire to learn English.
Those who have a chronic history of consuming more in government benefits than they pay in taxes.
Those who engage in activities which show their loyalty is in question.
In addition to enforcement activities against the illegal alien invaders, enforcement of existing labor laws is a must milestone to which guest worker permits shall be tied. Employers who have clean records would have first dibs on such guest worker permits. Those who do not would be fined sufficiently to finance the program.

From my limited perspective regarding high-powered politics, it is apparent that this proposal offers an excessive amount of common sense and a direct solution...

(liberal BS mode on) to a very complex problem that will require serious analysis and further study to formulate a strategery that will attack the problem with the utmost urgency and priority so that the desired outcome can be facilitated without undue emphasis on the mitigating circumstances that color the argument for or against the repeated challenges to our position in light of the recent developments.....(BS mode off?)

I wonder how many good ideas like yours get FUBAR'd this way?
