I have seen that article many times,
but the former comments stand.
the bottom line, over 14 million have entered the U.S. in recent years and they are killing off the country.
Just spend one day in San Diego.
I don't think the immigration system needs tremendous reforms.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. It was amnesty in 1986 and it is amnesty now as proposed by McCain, Kennedy, et. al.

We don't know how many have entered the country illegally. And yes, we are sowing the seeds of our own destruction. I don't have to go to San Diego to see it, although I once lived there. I can see it every day in the Washington DC metro area.
In addition to stopping illegal immigration, we need to reform our legal immigration policies, which Kennedy got implemented in 1965. Due to chain migration, the number of legal immigrants continues to rise [except for those categories with caps] and we are losing the diversity in terms of where the legal immigrants come from. Today, about 43% of the legal immigrants come from Mexico. We need an immigration policy that brings in the kinds of skills and numbers that will benefit the country in both the short and long term.
