“I’ve never heard of this guy, but man, is he ever spot on on this one.”
Nope he’s wrong.
Unless you dry up the jobs, the illegal’s motivation to come here in the first place, you’ll never solve the problem.
Draconian penalties(large fines and jail time) on the enablers of illegal immigration, the employers who break the law by hiring illegals, HAS to be a part of the solution. A few well publicized frog marches of employers to jail will, as it did in the corporate scandals, get the message across loud and clear. They’re just as guilty as the Mexican who sneaks across the border.
Make it so painful on those who would BREAK THE LAW by hiring illegals OR CONTINUING TO EMPLOY ILLEGALS that the job market drys up and with no chance of continuing income most self-deport or never come in the first place.
Otherwise, nothing will change.
I don’t see what’s so “complex” about the situation.
Close the border to all unauthorized crossing.
Enforce employment verification laws.
Allow law enforcement to check the legal status of anyone they have contact with, and deport the illegals immediately.

That’s right! Not just a slap on the wrist. These criminals need to understand that for enabling this problem, there will be serious penalties. Jail time for human resources and anyone else involved in the specific illegal’s hiring process would have an immediate impact. Especially if it wasn’t done to make an example, but as standard policy.
