"It is so obvious that going at it from the employer end is the answer. "

I completely agree with this. You can't blame the illegals for taking advantage of cheap labor employers who are winked at by the authorities. Does Hawaii strictly enforce legal employment? Or is the problem small because of it's remoteness?

I think if you made employing illegals a REAL crime with REAL punishments, you could quickly end the problem. The economic fallout and adjustment would be severe, but probably worth it in the long run. Making the illegals the "criminals" will never work. In Mexico, they're looked on as heros.
