If a city doesn't cooperate with ICE then undocumented migrants are more likely to go there.

The USA has so-called "sanctuary cities" that protect undocumented immigrants. Those cities encourage the immigrants to come, because it's less likely that they'll get punished for that.

Having any sort of a visa policy means that we have to not let some people in.

But if you reward those who break the law to get in the country - it will just encourage more people to come.

Also why should someone try to migrate legally? Get all the paperwork sorted and everything. Just to see a bunch of undocumented immigrants skipping the line and getting in?

If I come to the USA as a tourist - why do I even have that 90 day time limit? Why can't you let me stay as long as I please?

Yup - immigrants who come to the country legally don't cause all those problems.

So what do you propose? To give legal permanent resident status to everyone who shows up at the border?

To abolish all visa policies and let everyone in?

Yup - business owners who knowingly employ undocumented migrants should face severe penalties. The state should straight up seize their businesses and throw them in jail for at least a decade.
