You CANT monitor illegal imigration by definition, similar to trying to ascertain the number of unreported crimes, all you can do is estimate based on small samples or best guesses.
As this government has found out to its cost, once they are here you can't find them until they willingly or otherwise put their heads above the parapet.
In the meantime, since they are illegal, then doing illegal things makes a lot of sense - you can't hold a legal job, you can't legally drive a car, you can't legally rent a property, you can't have a bank account and so on.
Only three things, together, can possibly work - improving border security, unequivocal deportation in every case (if you'd wanted asylum, you should have asked for it) and massive prison sentances for those aiding and abetting, and for those illegals who commit ANY crime (before they are deported)
Make life for illegals so tough, they won't want to be here, in other words.
