Just enforce the laws. It's a crime to overstay your visa. It's a crime to enter illegally, etc. It's also a crime to use fake or stolen identification.
Treat them with the same repercussions ordinary citizens would get and they will self-deport! We know where they live. Let them know the evidence of the crimes they have committed we have, and let them know how long they have to flee before they are arrested and tried (and then deported).
You can't imagine the sheer numbers of them that have fake or stolen SSNs but file taxes with an ITIN, but report W2 income with the SSN. They are filing not to get a refund - they have ZERO withholding. They are getting $$$ back, frequently claiming many dependents who don't even live in the USA.
ITINs are issued to people who are not eligible for a SSN in order for them to file and pay taxes. We have a number for them, which is hilarious. It's illegal to be here but hey, since your here... pay some taxes! (Which of course is NOT what they do!)
Stolen SSN, fake IDs, etc... all crimes a citizen would do hard time for.
