I believe that spending huge sums on border enforcement would be a waste. The typical Washington solution to any problem is to pass another law creating more bureaucracy that makes managing the problem less tenable.

Right now we have laws passed in the 1980's that make it possible to deny illegal immigrants the ability to earn a legal living. Technologies added since then have shortened the reporting period, which if properly used could mean that most illegal immigrants could be stopped from receiving more than one or two paychecks from any legally compliant employer. The next step would be to crack down on the resulting surge in illegal employment. It would require that illegal immigrants be denied welfare and other legal social services designed to keep them here illegally.

When immigrants discover that their presence here does not raise their standard of living, the next wave will not arrive.
