My take is that they will go after illegals who have a criminal record first. Maybe the answer is simple and it's just not occurred to me, but how will they find these people? It's not exactly like when you rent an apartment or apply for a job, that you say my name is Bill Smith and I'm here illegally. I imagine false documents of some sort can be had for some for job applications. Border crossings where they check your papers? If you're also a convicted criminal you probably have more reason to stay under the radar.
I suppose they could have raids on places like meat packing plants and displaced government employees can fill the vacancies.
