The solution is not as complicated as it seems...

one of the main reasons for the illegal immigration is it's so difficult and expensive for anyone to migrate here legally. The process of obtaining a green card needs to be streamlined and expedited. That is why you have nearly half of all 'illegal aliens' here with papers like expired travel or student visas. These people HAVE documents and if they've been in the country for than two years past the expiration of their visa they should be granted access to making their standing legal. It should not be difficult if they have learned the language, are working, and have fully integrated into American life. If this ONE STEP, is done then it will have a greater impact on stopping the flow of illegal immigration than would a fence.

Much of the cause of illegal immigration is the paperwork, time, and expense to do it legally. Thus, if the process were simplified this issue would be easier to handle because the alternative would not seem so inviting...
