No one thing is going to solve the problem. I would start by:
1. Securing the border, as much as humanly possible.
2. Fine/arrest any employer who knowingly hires illegals...don't tell me that we can't create a database that's not effective.
3. Deport any illegal found here.
4. Revise the laws as necessary to reflect the current situation.
Amnesty will only encourage more illegal behavior.
I will also admit, I had a severe case of the ass whenever I RENEWED my driver's license, here in Bugtussell of all places, and was required to furnish a SSN & a birth certificate, while the State was allowing foreign nationals to APPLY for one with a payroll check stub or a utility bill.
They may have been required to furnish a Green Card as well, but it's plenty easy to buy fakes.
No doubt, Cargill carries more weight at the State Capitol than I do.
