While our immigration problems are complex, merely rounding up illegal immigrants and shipping them back over the border doesn't end the problem. They just come back over or more illegals are hired in their place. While the reaction to the recent "silent raids" by the Federal government has been mixed, the reality is the government checking the books and making employers fire everyone who is undocumented, whether they are there on the day of the raid or not could work.
However, for it to really be successful the government has to go over the employers if they continue to hire undocumented workers. That is the only real way to make a substantial drop in hiring illegal workers, reduce the number of jobs, you reduce the motivation to come and you increase the number of available jobs for U.S. citizens.
