How about the millions of local US citizens who are suffering because of budget cuts? unemployment is high, socials services are cut, teachers are being laid off, but numb nut obama is running around making jokes.
1. Borders must be secured.
2. Anyone who are here illegally must be sent back. Unless they are political asylum seekers ( but I think most political asylum seekers do come here legally, US is pretty good at this )
3. Create a law that will allow people to apply for jobs the right way. I think if there are proper immigration laws, most of these workers will come through the proper channels, instead of paying up hefty ransom to smugglers.
4. I know this will suck for anchor babies, but it is life. They can be with family or if they don't have family they can be at foster care till parents go back and enter the country legally.

I quote :
It's worth noting that although the unauthorized immigrant population includes more people from Mexico than from any other country, Mexicans are also the largest group of lawful immigrants. As for the flow of illegal immigrants, apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border have declined by more than 50 percent over the past four years, while increases in the size of the illegal population, which had been growing by about 500,000 a year for more than a decade, have stopped. This decline is largely due to the recession, but stepped-up border enforcement is playing a part.
