Why is Immigration Reform a dirty word? If they were to build a wall along the entire southern border, wouldn't that be a form of Immigration Reform?

The current immigration laws obviously do not work, so there needs to be some sort of reform. This is what I would start out with.

Immediately secure the southern border. Next, create a process (path-to-citizenship) for those illegals already here. This process must include showing that the immigrant is capable of supporting themselves, and their family. Anyone who does not meet the above, or chooses not to apply, would be immediately deported.

I live in Texas, and have met a number of legal and illegal immigrants, and the ones that I have met are very hard working, family oriented, and would make great conservatives. But the problem is that when they came in, they were followed by millions of worthless immigrants, who want nothing more than to live in what they consider Northern Mexico. We need to keep the first, and deport the second.

If we can keep the hard workers and get rid of the crud, they could turn the US hard right! Hard working immigrants are VERY conservative, keep those, and get rid of the moochers, and the US might be in much better shape.

So what? Many Americans are very hard working, family oriented, and are great conservatives. A foreigner whose first act is to violate our immigration laws and whose second act is to violate labor laws is UNWELCOME.
