Nothing less than martial law in the border states. Last time I
checked, there was something called the Fourth Amendment right against
illegal search and seizure, as defined by the Miranda principles
requiring probable cause for search. So how do we check for illegals?
Does "Hey, dat dere's a brown person" constitute probable cause for
citizenship check? Or do we require people to wear ID readily visible
on their person at all times? "Papers please."

Veiling racism behind the flag of "security" does not make it any less
racist.

As I have proven twice on this board, 60% of population growth in this
nation is due to domestic population, not immigration. You could reduce
immigration to 0 and still not stabilize the US population.

Dowds, you've been watching too many spy movies. Retinal scans are a
tedious, data-heavy method of checking identity. Certainly any
government office cannot possibly house the complete retinal data for
280+ million Americans. No, the only foolproof way to insure identity
would be to implant tracer chips subcutaneously.

But even this isn't foolproof. These chips would be worth a fortune to
those seeking citizenship. I could see mortuary workers digging one out
of Grandma to sell in Juarez or Tijuana. Or, given Amerikkka's
propensity for outsourcing, a line worker in Taiwan grabbing a handful
for his family. Poof! Instant Amerikkkans.

I won't even waste my time with the "enforcing employers" bulldrek.
Apparently, hiring a Mexican to cut your lawn is a sin beyond sin, but
if Microsoft takes its whole consumer service department to India,
that's business. If you want fair wages, require American companies to
hire Americans, or get the Hell out of Dodge.
