I think a good start would be to do away with the sanctuary city nonsense.
When a person commits a crime they answer for that crime and if they are also here illegally they get sent packing.
The wall/fence/mine field/ electronic fence needs to be setup and be well guarded to prevent anymore illegals from crossing and to certainly stop those from returning.
Trump could turn this mess into a reality show where the American public can see just how bad some of these illegals are and what crimes they have been getting away with all these years.
4. All Federal funding cut off to sanctuary cities
5. Build A wall
6. Other
The two bolded alone would eliminate a lot of the problem. Additionally, no taxpayer funded public services other than emergency/contagious disease medical treatment.
One thing that I wish we would do is make "born of the soil" citizenship a "right" for children of non-citizens (legal or illegal) once requested as an adult instead of at birth. In other words, if you are born on US soil to non-American citizens you may declare American citizenship at 18 and be automatically granted it, but not until you are an adult and can make that choice yourself. Your non-citizen parents can not do it for you. This will address the issue of separating families and do much to end citizenship birth tourism.

Abolish the birthright 14th Amendment. A big excuse for these anchor baby illegals is how its so humane to deport and split families... So get rid of that.. Then the entire family can be deported without splitting the family up. one of the Parents must be a citizen . Pass a low to give state officials a database that they need to run everyone through to confirm immigration status. Then grant state officials the power to apprehend every single individual that is illegal .
The answer is a temporary visa working program. This was always the answer. People who think that Mexicans are ruining the country because they are "stealing jobs" are lunatics.

The whole ripping apart families meme is a joke. Most don't all come here together to begin with.
I'm okay with immigration reform, but anyone who supports elimination birth-right citizenship is unreasonable. I can't imagine the benefit of deporting someone who was born and raised here. It smacks of pettiness and racism. I'm married to a legal immigrant, who became a nationalized citizen long before we met. Her sister came to this country, legally, on a student visa and had a child. That boy is every bit as American as you or me.
