Ike took a swing at the problem back in the 50's....not sure there has been a serious attempt since. Hell, the name of the operation alone would be enough to cause half of our current politicians to faint away. Judging by my area, it may be too late.

Then on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day. By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.
