I'm far from an expert, or a lawyer. But...
No amnesty. There is some Constitutional stuff that we must respect about people born here, but otherwise...
Make it against federal law to employ (in any capacity) an undocumented person. That does NOT deal with the asylum requests. That will dry-up almost all non-asylum crossings because they can't get work here.
For asylum people, allow temporary work permits so they can support themselves while their cases are decided. Renewable every so often (90 days, 180 days, whatever). If they let it expire, they are working illegally (and can be deported).
Increase the capacity for adjudicating cases.
And one idea we just mentioned yesterday was "first safe country". We should look at that.
Off the top of my head.
