Frankly, I don't think the situation is actually that bad. We just don't assert ourselves. The moment we take even minor steps in our own defense; the sham comes tumbling down.
It reminds me of that week where it looked like the Tories in the UK had enacted the Rwanda plan successfully. Suddenly, for a whole week, there were zero boats crossing the channel. And all that was was the fear of paying people to go to Africa.
I genuinely don't think it would take much effort to make most of the chancers leave, this is mostly because we are paying them all to come. If we wanted, we don't even need a deportation program. We just have to stop paying them.
The Visa overstayers might go back. The border hoppers likely wouldn't because the coyotes and other methods needed to cross only go one way, so they physically wouldn't be able to for most of them.
These people would just resort to more crime and going further under ground, while playing on local's sympathies, if the federal government stopped fully funding them.
Heck one of my big local rings is a fully legal Mexican fellow who simply snaps up every dude who arrives, forces them into 7 day a week for 200$ month labor jobs and then collects on the huge contracts the corporations are actually paying for that work. No government involved, and its suspected he actually pays to smuggle them over himself. Just a regular old "no labor laws apply" scheme.

I disagree. The border hoppers are doing it because crossing the border illegally is more beneficial than crossing it legally. We've set up a system where we incentivize people to cross illegally in almost all possible cases. Almost all of their illegal trips are sponsored by NGO's, foreign governments, and massive investments. They could easily get a plane ticket back to their home countries, even if they burned their passport. They wouldn't have a support network to re-migrate them, but they wouldn't need it either. They'd just need a hundred bucks or so, and they'd be back in their home countries by the end of the day.

This I totally agree on, but I didn't bring it up because it's the supply side of the equation, while I was focusing on the demand side. We need a full-scale dragnet on the illegal employers. A lot of the isolationists want illegals shot, but honestly, these employers are the ones who need to be hit with the fullest extent of the law.

Why would their home country want them back? They are only given such free reign because they send back massive amounts of money to bolster the economy. If that train ended, few of them would get even the slightest leeway from their corrupt governments/cartels. They'd be landing at the airport with a truck waiting to bring them to some slave labor camp, not total freedom to just go about their lives.
Even if they could be welcomed back, they know what a shithole their country is. They'll rabble rabble about how bad America is but they know how good they have it compared to whereever they came from. The free money sponsored the trip, but that idea is why they chose to go on it in the first place.
Even if the gravy train of welfare and benefits ran out, there would always be guys like I mentioned above able to get them a life here that is still leagues above back home, even if its slavery relative to the rest of us. All that would happen is they would start turning on each other for the slimmer pickings instead of constantly trying to multiply.

Frankly, it wouldn't matter. I don't know many countries that try to stop their own citizens from re-entering their own country. There's no good way to stop illegals from returning, without stopping normal businessmen returning. Not unless there's some sort of Guatemalan TSA Pre-Check that I don't know about. And frankly, most of them go back pretty regularly anyway. They'll swing back and forth to go visit family and friends.

You're confusing people who want money with people who want to genuinely leave their country for a better place. They already constantly go back. Normally for weddings, holidays, sometimes to see families, they stay on the phone and want to hear about the latest news and drama. They are still fully invested in their home country, they just want to bring back remittances (whether legal or illegal). The vast majority of the time, their home countries are not shitty for them and their standards, which is why they replicate it as soon as they get here. These people don't want to leave their country, and think that their country is better anyway.
Put it like this, Somalians are leaving London to return to Somalia because it's safer. They're not doing it by boat, they're just buying a flight and going home. The boat migrant thing is just a procedural matter. Only the jihadis have an interest in Islamifying England into Shamal Al-Andalus. Most of the people themselves don't give a fuck about anyone, and want some cash that they otherwise might struggle to get (because someone might actually demand they work for money in Somalia)

And that's why we should go after the employers as hard as possible. That's the beauty of the prisoners' dilemma. We want them to turn on each other for lessened sentences.
