I agree with you if the goal is perfect interdiction.
What level of interdiction is sufficient? What level do we have now? I don't know, but I'll bet somebody has studied it.
Enforcing hiring laws would not be 100% effective either. What level is acceptable?
Guest worker programs may offer currently illegal workers an alternative acceptible to employers, guest workers, and citizens of the USA.
The combination of a strong guest worker program; a strong, but not perfect barrier combined with strong; but not perfect enforcement of hiring laws might be an effective way of reducing illegal entry to an acceptable level.
