A few years ago my teenager was "busted" for possessing tobacco, despite my stiff ongoing opposition to smoking.  He had no money to pay his fine, so the judge assigned him "community service" to work a certain amount of hours until he had paid for the cost of the fine. 
Surely it is expensive to continually deport people who break the rules and sneak in. Perhaps they should be asked where [else] they would like to go, and then it should be verified that they would be allowed to go there.  After that, the sneak-ins should be assessed the cost of the bureaucracy involved in the verification, as well as the cost of transporting them to their new destination.  If they couldn't pay, let them work it off with heavily supervised community service first, picking up trash beside the road or some such tedious but useful service, until their efforts were deemed equal to the costs of transporting them out.  Surely the immigrants are not better than my own American citizen kid?
