That will ultimately stop illegal immigration for good.

No. Nothing will stop a 20-1 wage difference attracting workers. There will always be a way to get through as long as there is such a reward. Short of minefields and shoot on sight(and this will never, ever happen) you just can't shut down the southern border. And you neglect a significant source of illegal immgration: visa overstays. Not every illegal just sneaks through our porous borders, it's quite expensive to have done properly.
I agree that employer sanctions need to be jacked way up, though. As of now they hardly exist.
The main problem with border policing now is the way politicians handle it. They will pour resources into their area so they can point to lower illegal crossover stats and leave other areas completely uncovered.
