Your reasoning also proves that prohibition failed only because we did not enforce the laws. Reality - the only problem was the law.

What happens if we successfully enforce current immigration laws? Economic damage to America. It is already ongoing in the Silicon Valley where not enough immigrants (legal and illegal) can be obtained. Many of those who demand more immigration enforcement are also the reason why we need more immigrants. Those many did not bother to get better educated. As a result, we need more immigrants.

The solution advocated by those many? More of what did not work for prohibition.

What happens where immigration laws are more strongly enforced? As demonstrated in Nebraska and the northern dairy regions of NY State - the economy turned down so greatly that business owners even asked immigration enforcement agents to leave.

How to solve the immigration problem? Increase immigration visa numbers from a few hundred thousand to the millions we need to keep America productive.
