Well the staus quo is not going to work. the best thing to do is get these people above ground. The vast majority are hard working and if they are working and not on welfare they should be able to apply for a temporary work visa(for a set period of time). If they are on welfare, deport them. Also all violent criminals should be deported. A temporary visa does not mean citizenship and if they want to apply for citizenship they must go back to their original countries, and get in the back of the line. Also when I was a kid I remember TV commercials saying that all resident aliens had to register with the govt. every year. That should also be a requirement. After a period of six months or a year, all those who did not register are subject to deportation, no ifs , ands, or buts, but a Clinton ppointed liberal judge would probably put the kibosh on that. It is a much orderly system than the National Guard going willy nilly through neighborhoods and asking for your papers. Also every person who has temporary work status would be issued a biometric tamperproof card.
Your turn.

ROTFLMAO!!!
First, seal the borders. Create a minefield and a military presence directly along the US/Mexican border. Will it cost money? Certainly it will. But we have already paid the price of having unsecured borders with blood. So money is not an issue.
Next, vigorously enforce immigration laws on the books, and adopt English as the national language. People should be encouraged to learn English, as they will need it to get along in life if they wish to live in the USA. Those who do not wish to assimilate should be immediately deported. Those who discourage learning English should get prosecuted on a federal level, on par with the penalties for mail theft ($50,000 fine and/or 5 years in jail).
