It’s a good analogy, the USA is a supermarket without a back wall, so to speak.

We would have to seal off our borders completely and patrol them aggressively. And register and track everyone who enters through the legal checkpoints. That is an expensive proposition, and means a lot more government bureaucracy.

I think we can do it (no,, not 100%, but more effectively than now) with devices already in place.
A) discourage companies from hiring illegals. If we just fine the company eventually they will just pass that cost to the consumer. I say real jail time for the owner and/or the head of personnel
B) stop allowing illegals drivers licenses. driving is and always has been a privilege (per state), not a “right”
C) same applies to visits to an emergency room. I’m not advocating NOT treating someone who needs medical attention, but if they are illegal aleins they should be detained at that point

There are others, but I’m on hour 10 of a very hectic work shift (with almost 3 more hours to go) after getting no sleep since 24 hours ago and my brain is cramping
