Illegal immigration cannot be completely stamped out, but better enforcement that would make it difficult for 15-20 MILLION (that's one out of twenty people!!) illegals to live here would be an excellent start. If they drive without licenses, they can be pulled over, arrested, and deported. Good! In many areas the local cops could pull EVERYONE over and bust them on the basis that 99% probability of them being illegal is more reliable than most probably cause findings.
Let's have controlled guest-worker programs so Mexicans are not exploited, pay taxes, and stay the hell out of voting booths.
Passports do not require databasing of fingerprints and retina scans. You aren't required to have a passport, and it isn't needed for anything but international travel.

The 4th Amendment explicitly requires probable cause for a search. The probability of finding an illegal immigrant by pulling everyone over is irrelevant.
If we resorted to such tactics, we would be no better than repressive nations we consider inferior to our own. Denying unalienable rights is worse than illegal immigration. That solution us outrageously unconstitutional and is worse than the problem.

Agreed. I like this solution better. It solves the problem while preserving the 4th Amendment.
