Look, I don't buy your assumption that the illegals don't want to become legal.
But we can set up a solution that easily deals with this issue. Only those on the path to citizenship get to work via goldcard or such. So provide the economy with the labor desired, and then I'm all for punishing the employers who go around the system for whatever reason.

And what do you tell the millions in other countries who wish to become Americans and who are following the legal process? Oh, sorry, these cheaters get put ahead of you because they ran across our borders?

What a message. Become part of the American dream - desert navigation a plus.
