Like any enforcement effort, most will comply with a little propting or by keeping the need in the public eye by periodic high profile media attention to prosecutions combined with ample public notice. The bigger question should be what will we do with them once we pick them up since we still will not build facilities for illegal/documented and documented aliens who should/could be charged with federal misdimeanor immigration offences. In other words we will not lock up people that have not been convicted of a deportable offence. In addition, our courts tend not to be in a hurry to move immigration cases through the courts and free up these limited "temporary" detention facilities just because our prisons are overcrouded as it is.
It's a matter of money and political will not a peeing match between CBP and ICE.

Why is this so difficult? The old INS spent probably 80% of its' time filling out hundreds of forms for arriving visitors, then somehow putting the data into the computer. Why not just create another screen titled: Departure Information, with an automatic flag when the visa period is up? Part of the problem is that CBP is a bad joke, and the agency refuses to share the enforcement with local cops. Why not deputize police to check with the feds re illegals? Answer, archaic laws and "turf wars", that's why. Wake up America, we're still losing!
