Check employers. Check all businesses, randomly and frequently. No need for a fence or profling, just random frequent checks. And don't give me any 4th amendmant whine, the same laws that enable the "Health Department" to go in any business allows Da Fuzz to check them out also.
No jobs, illegals leave and there's no "Underground Community" for the other criminals (drug dealers, gang members, possibly terrorists) to hide among.
The lack of illegals alone, we'd have many more jobs than "Unemployed/Underemployed". Granted lousy ones, but only so because of the terribly low wages and unsafe conditions enabled by the "Illegal" aspect of it. Remove the illegals, workers can demand (or not working there will be a real threat again) a sane wage and basic safety/automation. Anyone who was a kid in the 70s wonder why we don't have "Robotic Farms" that an "Engineer or even an electronics enthusiast can earn a good living and enjoy the outdoors"? Illegal immigrants are cheaper and therefore they crippled the progress.
Along the way, let's also call for "Tariffs and Trade barriers" and at the very least for Obama to honor his promise to "End tax breaks and subsidies to companies that export jobs." Isn't it an obscenity that a company was allowed to cheat a US worker out of a job making shoes so the work could be done by a barefoot 6 year old girl chained to a post in the floor of a factory that could catch fire any day? And even worse, that despite the "Cheap" wages and lack of "Health/safety" codes often these operations cost MORE? More because of "Tea Money" (Bribery) to a line of petty officials, piracy both intellectual and non, and the cost of transport alone? But then they get paid from the economy they steal from to ensure a profit?
The root problem is that our "Rich Elite" are stealing from us. What they do is not business, it is theft, perhaps even treason. They stagnate wages, import illegal "Scabs", send jobs overseas and then shriek and threaten the government for our tax money or debts in our names.
