I can no more prescribe the USA to increase its tariffs on immigration than I can prescribe it to increase tariffs on vehicles or sugar. These tariffs harm consumers at the expense of benefiting local vehicle and sugar makers. Similarly lowering legal migration and cracking down on illegal migration will only end up hurting the layman.

Don't you have a heart? I want to lift us out of these hard times, and to do so we need to liberate our markets from all these tariffs.

You're right about one thing. Immigration increases our labor force, which unfortunately at this time we don't need. If it creates jobs, why are jobs so scarce? If it lowers costs, why do costs keep going up? If it increases real wages, why do employers hire illegal immigrants at lower wages?

Clovis people were this first people in the Amricas. It has long been thought they came from Siberia, but when scientists went there to look for a similar culture, they found none. On the other hand, they found a similar culture in Southern France, and Northern Italy. So, maybe the ancestors of illegal aliens were the intruders.
