Yeah, it sounds like a completely unworkable situation.

If only there was some way to make it easier for people to stay in the United States with much relaxed concern about their citizenship status or documentation.

... Oh wait, we could just do that. Because it's our laws, which means it's rules for a game we made up for ourselves. The universe does not care about the lines drawn on a map. People do. If the lines drawn on a map and the separation of human beings across those lines is becoming painful... Maybe we stop hurting ourselves?

We could care less. We did care less in the past. It seemed to work pretty well.
