Realistically speaking?

Personally I've got nothing against the immigrants. It kind of gets under my skin that some have come here illegally, and protest for the rights they're not entitled to, but I can see why some people would rather flee their own country for a better life here. No matter what anybody else thinks, for all it's fallacies it's still the best country on the face of the Earth.

Now the cost of "rounding up" all the illegals for the purpose of deportation would cost an astronomical amount of money, (money I'm personally not willing to pay through already gut-wrenching taxes) but what is the solution here?

It seems to me that the immigration and naturalization process here in America is obvoiously broken and out dated, but the people in the U.S. need to be taken care of first and foremost in my opinion. It's also obvious that the illegals for the most part are here to stay, regardless of what Americans think. Not saying it's right, but lets face the facts.

I say anyone who wants to come here (with a few obvious exceptions) should be allowed in as long as it does legally.

I seriously think that if we increase the number of LEGAL immigrants that come into the country, the number of ILLEGAL immigrants would decrease. Obviously, I do not want to start letting in people who have no money or have a criminal background, but it is very difficult for many to come here legally, that's why they opt for the illegal way, because it is much easier to do. If we stopped immigration altogether or put more restrictions on it, more and more illegals would come and the illegals already here would become ever more angrier.
