The only defense left is to carry lots of "under insured motorist" coverage on your auto policy.

The jails in many of those states are already at capacity from our own domestic law breakers (largely because of our drug laws). Many in the state's police ranks could spend nearly all of their time processing these illegal alien arrests as they are time-consuming and expensive while violent crimes need their attention first. And then there's the matter of paying for all that, our government can take on more debt or raise taxes, neither of which are in vogue.
IMHO we have been in denial about how to deal with the issue for a long time. You're not going to even process every illegal caught let alone catch everyone in the first place. And doing so would require an epic spending of money on the order of another war in the middle east, which we've yet to pay for as well.
Also, from what I've read only a very small % of deportations and arrests of illegals come from a result of traffic accidents. They're typically arrested crossing the border on foot or in workplace raids.

Typical confusing activity with accomplishment! How basic is it to protect your borders! Anyone here not bother to lock your doors before leaving home or going to sleep at night. We need to build a wall that's up to the job!

The problem with such a fool-proof wall (which would surely be one of the 7 wonders of the modern world) aside from its astronomical cost, would be all the small businesses that would block it from being built since they rely heavily on a steady stream of millions of illegal migrant workers to keep their small businesses afloat. They're also the reason why these illegals have to stay illegal: once they become legal they have to pay them a minimum wage, workers comp in case of injury, ensure safe working conditions and other costs that crimp small business margins. It's a cynical arrangement. Meanwhile, keeping the current cat and mouse charade going employs millions of LE agents, keep jail contractors in business, and of course maintains the endless black market of cheap labor. Unless there is an economic disincentive to keep small business from using illegal labor, they will continue to be the lure that gets illegals to risk their lives crossing the border by the millions. Many of whom transport contraband. And really when you look at our history, there's never been an industrialized period where American business didn't use immigrant labor in large numbers. The difference now is that we no longer have a viable mechanism to manage it. Department of State statistics indicate that an unskilled worker has an approximate wait of ~90 years to obtain a work visa. They aren't going to wait that long, neither are the millions of small businesses that are always hiring them.

Wish it was as simple as building a wall. Ask the Chinese.

Yeah but they didn't have millions of illegals willing to build it for cheap...
