Reducing the number of immigrant visas, elimination of work visas, tougher requirements to enter the U.S. on legitimate business. These things indirectly increase illegal immigration and make the already difficult, expensive and caprecious immigration process even worse. For example, right now it takes 10 years for a legal immigrant to bring their spouse and children into the country. They are not even allowed in as tourists. Illegals bring their whole families in and get all kinds of social services to boot! Even for legal immigration, a paperwork error can get you kicked out and barred from re-entry for 10 years.

My point is this. Current immigration laws are already very strict and are enforced heavily on legal immigrants. The problem is that there is no enforement of existing immigration laws against illegals. Last week, they were out on the streets and no one did anything about it. Even illegals who got fired are suing to get their jobs back! But if an immigration form has the slightest mistake, you are deported. Period. Even a spelling mistake, or inconsistent translation of a non-western name from a non-western alphabet will do it. This is percieved by Immigration authorities as attempted deception and you are out of here.
