Of course, that doesn't address the current illegal problem from our southern borders. I think the first step in resolving that issue is sealing the border from illegals. There's little sense in trying to bail water, when we haven't fixed (or even slowed) the leak. Any sort of amnesty program will just encourage the next wave to sneak in and get their free citizenship that the US hands out every 20 years.

There is already a program in place like this in the US, for LEGAL immigrants....it would be interesting to develop one for illegals, should we decide on some level of amnesty.....
