You guys need to take some refresher courses in Economics. Seriously.

And anyone who buys that these folks are going to all of a sudden trust the US Government and go and register their identity is really in la la land.

You can't suddenly do anything. Everything is a process, everything takes time, everything is always a struggle, competition, and involves work and ingenuity. But ultimately I personally believe and know there are workable solutions to this problem, just like the thousands of other challenging issues facing our societies every day. Can you throw 12 Million people out in one day and think everything will be exactly the same? No. Can you systematically protect your borders, reduce illegal immigration whilst maintaining economic strength? Of course. It is equivelent to saying that people at the time could never survive without slavery, (this arguement was of course often made), but of course in the end just about any issue can be overcome if people are serious about solving the challenges in overcomming it. There is however, unlike in Japan, just a complete lack of polticial will on this issue.
