End the entitlements for the illegals. Welfare, tuition, health care other than true emergencies. Those willing to come here for just what they're now being paid as wages might actually make fine Americans, once acculturated, if we gave them the chance. Working hard, for low pay without freebies, in search of the American dream used to be our immigrant norm. Without the freebies they would be much less of a drain on local resources. Those who couldn't make would relocate home where the cost of living was cheaper. "Illegal" wages would be bid up by the decreased supply of illegals and make it easier for citizens and legals to compete. The courts may give you some problems with this for awhile, but that can be solved by appointing better judges and writing better laws. The framers didn't intend non-citizens to get these freebies (or citizens for that matter!) so this change is a return towards the constitution, regardless of what liberal judges say. Weaning the citizens from THEIR unconstitutional freebies alas will be tougher to achieve but eventually needs to be done. Welfare reformed proved it was possible.
