Yes, it is impossible. Where do you think the vast majority of that knock-offs come from? Sure, there's some made in the US, but most come from SE Asia, right? I can goto any market in the city, pickup a DVD of a movie for $3 that isn't even in US theaters yet, plus get some nice CK cologne & jeans, a nice Ralph Lauren shirt, all for about $30.
This is throughout the entire world, and lots of that merchandise ends up within the US. Do you really believe it makes sense to dedicate scarce government resources to this, when they're very much needed elsewhere?
It's like the war on drugs. You're not going to win. Imagine how much better off the US would be right now if they legalized weed from the start, for example. With the amount of money the US has spent on weed laws, you'd probably be able to pay off a third of your national debt.
