I voted for "Crackdown harshly on businesses that are lazy, or who knowingly hire illegals" but I only favor this if verification is simple, cheap for the businesses, and hard to screw up. I'm very hesitant to put the enforcement burden on private businesses.
In general, I favor letting those who are here illegally and who wish to assimilate have a path toward citizenship. Increase legal immigration, deport criminals, and MOST OF ALL secure the border (whether that means a physical fence, a virtual fence, more border patrol, the military, or some combination). If we don't secure the border, none of the rest matters (and some of it, e.g. amnesty, will be counterproductive).
