The solution to which (as has happened to some extent in the last year) is to make it uncomfortable and unprofitable for those folks until they self-deport.
Actual enforcement of laws against employing illegals (up to and including jail time, especially for Corporate CEOs and other higher ups that knew, or should have known, their company was playing games). Even if not one goes to Club Fed, the extra expense of maintaining extra staff and lawyers to keep them out of jail could add up to the point where it's cheaper to just not bother with taking the chance.
Hammering "Sanctuary" cities through transferring (not withholding) all Federal funds to jurisdictions in compliance. No grants for anything. No student aid for any school within their borders. No "back pay" either. If you come into compliance, then you can start from scratch. All funds you didn't receive during that period are gone, already spent in compliant jurisdictions. Or for paying for the relocation expenses of Federal Employees to homes outside the jurisdiction, and the relocation of Federal offices.
No official travel by any Federal official not directly involved in National Security, Law Enforcement or tax collection operations (you don't get rid of the IRS
that easy you punks, you still gotta pay without getting any benefits.) anywhere within said borders. Air travel to be routed through airports not associated with a sanctuary location. The extra costs of airline tickets and TDY pay to come from funds that would have gone to that location.
No attendance by any Federal official to any convention, conference training or seminar in your jurisdiction.
No politician or government official from that jurisdiction will be granted admittance to any Federal convention, conference training or seminar, except as determined to be essential to support LE or Defense operations in areas
outside of the offending jurisdiction.
If you happen to have a military base in your area, all housing and business establishments are declared Off Limits to all military personnel.
You get the idea...
