It seems like we could solve the immigration problem very quickly if we started imposing harsh penalties on the people who employ illegal immigrants.
Undocumented immigrants, by definition, are going to be hard to track down. Businesses on the other hand have to have an office, be reachable, file taxes, etc. They're also probably breaking a host of other employment laws as well (easy to do when your employees can't go to the authorities). If the availability of jobs dried up, people would have no incentive to come here illegally.
Of course, that would involve arresting rich white people instead of poor brown people, so it will never happen.
