i don't think i was intending to put your OP in different words, but that may be how it turned out. i just think that if we don't want it to be happening, in the short term we have to take drastic measures (kill on site, i think something like saying we're going to imprison them might not be believed, or be believed by many to be a better deal than living in their home countries, and then we still still have to pay for incarcerating them) and work on long term solutions that make their homes as attractive to them as ours are. so i guess we're probably just in agreement then.
btw, i don't think that we should be doing this, it's just the only real solutions i see to the problem.
