If we build the wall, it will be harder to enter our country and fewer people will be able to come illegally. If we enforce immigration law and deport illegals, including those who overstay visas, there will be less incentive to come, and fewer illegals will come. If we prosecute employers who knowingly hire illegals, making it more expensive to hire them than legal residents, there will be less profit in coming here illegally and fewer will come.
Fix our immigration system, and few will bother coming illegally for work or even for crime. At that point, with only small numbers crossing, we’ll be able to stop terrorists at the border because we won’t be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
What about the jobs that illegals currently do? (1) Employers can pay more until they find a rate that will attract Americans, or (2) employers can go through the process to legally hire foreigners. Tolerating crime should not be national policy.

Lack of employment opportunities and denial of all government funded benefits are the keys IMO. It will only take the imprisonment of a few CEO’s to take care of many employment opportunities. Denial of any benefits to children whose biological parents were not born in the United States or are not U.S. citizens could immediately take effect. Then the next groups to tackle are those citizens who are able to but do not work and instead live off of government funded programs.
Now, kill the TSA perverts, and give us real airline and rail security which doesn't harass regular Americans, maybe using private contractors.
Likewise, make way for an industry as technical as the credit card industry, to design and operate our visa program, keeping track of who they are, and where they are.
I hope it’s impermeable so amphibians and Mexican coyotes can’t get through. We have enough critters.
