Illegal immigrants come to the US for work and to provide a better life for their family. If the work was unavailable they would no longer come. And the immigrants here illegally would not stay.
However, to make sure the work that needs to be done continues to be done we would also need to start issuing more Visas and make legal immigration an easier process.

Yeah, I've said this every election cycle for the last 20 years.. (yes because like clock work every election year Republicans start whining about illegals then forget about them unless it's a democrat in office) When Clinton was in office illegals were big deal, Bush was elected suddenly no whining about illegals. Obama gets elected then suddenly wee need a wall and illegals are problems again..
If you start dishing out $5k fines for ever illegal to the companies who habitually hire them, then suddenly it would be a non issue.. Of course they don't wanna talk about that!!
