The illegal alien problem has a very simple solution: end the welfare state.
Combined with making it a crime, with a minimum mandatory 20 years without parole, to do business with an illegal alien. Just routine things like hiring, renting apartments, opening a bank account, etc.
No remittances to send back home = no reason to stay. It won't take long for the average illegal alien to self remove. That leaves the official law enforcement illegal alien hunters a much smaller pool of gangbangers, muggers, rapists, child molesters, and grandma abusers to chase.

Great suggestion.
