If we got rid of the immigration bureaucracy and all the social welfare
programs that people perceive the "illegals" are exploiting, the problem
would solve itself:  People who want to come here to work hard can.
People who come here and don't want to, won't have a choice.  Joe Random
American won't be saddled with the costs of supporting an untenable
policy.

Or, yeah, we could do your thing and pass more laws and/or step up police
enforcement.  That's worked swimmingly so far.
