Im sorry it would be much EASIER and cost effective to put out an announcement that says "IF YOU ARE ILLEGALLY IN THIS COUNTRY, GO TO THE DMV AND FILL OUT A WORK VISA PERMIT THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY FOR 3 YEARS".

Then put out another announcement "IF YOU ARE CAUGHT INSIDE THIS COUNTRY WITH NO PAPERWORK YOU WILL BE DEPORTED NO QUESTIONS ASKED"

There would be lines around the block to get in. We would get the MAJORITY of their names, addresses, etc. They would have documentation when they go to work for an employer that would could TRACK, etc.

Sure there would be a few that didnt go get registered, but who cares, we will catch them eventually when they break a law and they will get the boot.

Have some criteria that they have to meet in 3 years to be able to re-apply, like if they work they have to have paid taxes, worked for 12 months of those 3 years if they are over the age of 20 or something. If they are in school they have to have a C average. I dont know we can figure that out later.

Let the people that want to stay an work, stay. There is no way we can round them all up and kick them out, that will NEVER happen. So we might as well go with the next best alternative

Amnesty was tried already and it failed miserably and only made the problem worse. Before we do anything about illeglas though, we need to actually secure our borders. Until we do that we are simply wasting money.
