If the illegals did not comply with the old laws, then what makes you think they will comply with new laws?
PS. When you said, "we NEED" amnesty, didn't you mean YOU, need amnesty?

When you learn how to read what I actually wrote instead of making it up in your head, I'll actually reply to you.

Yeah the reason most people can't live off the grid and under the table is that they're trackable. The relatively few people who manage it are living under other identities (and thus still tracked, just not as themselves) or have removed themselves completely - paid in cash or in trade, either own their place outright or live with someone else, provide their own food or rely primarily on charity.
There's always the gray market but the "well employers will still cheat people even if they're legal" argument is a bad one.
