I do think we need to revamp our entire approach to immigration. There are 3 necessary components which must be addressed:

1. Gain more functional control over the US/MEXICO border. I am not sure what the solution here will be. Whether it is a wall/fence, increased deployment of border agents, drones, etc or more likely a combination of all of the above. But I do think it's fair to say that we could do a better job than we are currently doing, given the results.

2. Redefine the criteria by which we accept legal immigrants. Rather than arbitrary factors like whether they have relatives here I feel the criteria for granting access to legal immigration should be based on what the immigrant in question has to offer in terms of skills, age, etc.

3. Path to citizenship for the current illegals on a one time basis. The real reason so many conservatives fear the idea of amnesty is they believe it sets a precedent for new immigrants to come here illegally in hopes of gaining a future amnesty. And it does set that precedent, if left unchecked. So it has to be clear that if amnesty is granted that it is the last time it is ever going to be granted. A one time deal, to recognize our failure in dealing with this problem for so many decades.
