You haven't looked very hard. I'd like to see them swinging from an adjoining gibbet. There is also the not-so-small matter of the vast amount of drugs that are smuggled into our country along the Southern border. I have an idea...if you are a wetback caught smuggling drugs into this country, life at hard labor with no parole, assuming you escape the afore-mentioned gallows or guillotine. Let's face it; about 2% of the illegals who cross the border are engaged in agricultural activity. They are not the problem and never have been. Neither are legal entries who overstay their visas by a couple of months.
Abolish penalties for these people, and increase them for non-agricultural workers and long term visa overstays.
There are currently about one million Mexicans who are patiently waiting for US citizenship the legal way. They care enough to respect our laws and put up with the bureaucratic bullshit concomitant with applying for US citizenship, and they can't catch a break. These are people who have already demonstrated that they respect our laws and most all of them will doubtless make very good citizens. How about we help them and deal very harshly with the wetbacks and their US citizen enablers?

From the perspective of a law abiding citizen of the United States, anyone illegally crossing our borders is indeed guilty of committing a criminal offense.

Our southern border in Texas is cut into the earth by the Rio Grande River.

This is the river where the expression " Wetback " was coined.

There are literally thousands of places along the river where one may easily walk or swim across.

When an alien of any nation crosses our Rio Grande border, then that alien is a " Wetback ".

Since the day this border was established, right on up until this very day, aliens have gotten their backs wet from crossing the river.

Therefore, the term " Wetback " applies to anyone illegally crossing our Texas border.

Any leftist Goober will swear that it's a racist remark.

It's not.

It's Texas slang for "illegal alien".

And we need more of these guys to point them the way back home.

Mistaken on two counts:

One, we don't need to build a wall. If Americans citizens would not hire illegal aliens there would be no draw for 'wetbacks' or gravel bellies.
Two, liberals would not be there with out stretched arms if the illegals don't come because we are not hiring them.

The reason liberals have sympathy for the illegal aliens is because we know that they are being used and abused by supposedly upstanding American citizens. Go after the criminals who hire them if you want to put a dent in the migration. I see no outrage by conservatives against these American lawbreakers.
