I'm a little too concerned w/ the psychological/racial/civil rights issues associated w/ telling a large sect of the population to "come forward for processing or we'll hunt you down like deer". I don't believe we'll be able to convince all those people that we mean them no harm, all they have to do it come forward.
If we're going to close the border for "security" reasons, not only will we have to allow unlimited immigration, we'll also have to grant all existing immigrants amnesty, and we're gonna have to scrape together a shitload of money to run the system.. maybe we can cancel that whole war on drugs waste of money and use that cash.
Unfortunately, I don't think that a closed border will actually make us significantly more secure, at least not for the money it'll cost.
