I think the key question is:
"How do we maintain the benefits of immigration while eliminating the negative consequences of it"
immigrants provide inexpensive labor, start up companies and create jobs, and are consumers who buy goods and services.
In the mean time we have higher crime rates, elevated expenses for health care and prisons.
Here's my plan
My proposal in a nutshell
1. Be able to identify legal workers and citizens easily (with an identity card that is tied to data bases so that a forged card won't cut it)
2. Now employers can buy a $50 machine to verify if potential workers are legal or illegal.
3. Liberally give work permits to thousands of outstanding mexican citizens (without criminal records, etc).
4. Crack down on employers who don't verify work status. (e.g. $10,000 per employee)
5. Tax the workers to cover health care costs for this group of people.
6. Create refugee camps for those who then enter the country illegally.

There are higher rates of crime among the poor. Illegal aliens have a higher rate of poverty. In border states, illegal aliens have a higher crime rate than citizens.
Illegals offer our country with countless benefits. I sincerly believe we benefit greatly from having them here, but it's not without consequences.
I am a gringo, but I speak fluent spanish, have many latino friends, many of which are illegal aliens.
No I'm not delusional. I'm looking for solutions.
Here's one paper that discusses crime rates among illegals: http://www.ccis-ucsd.org/PUBLICATIONS/wrkg131.pdf

I think it sucks!
If they are without criminal record, that means they are not guilty of a crime
It is a crime to enter the US illegally
so they do not belong here at all!

Start by sending illegal aliens HOME. If you're really trying to help the countries they come from, go start a factory there and make stuff and sell it. Then they can participate in the economy, too, and be making money, and the next thing you know, they're China.
Illegal immigration is a crime, and news flash, aiding and abetting is ALSO a crime. This isn't 1912 anymore, time to rethink the whole 'growth' business.

1. Oh please do not make me get an identity card.
All I can imagine is the nazi's walking up and checking your papers.
With the technology we have now they will just have to count heads and the rfid chip tell them who does or does not have a card. Just try and prove who you are at that point. Very draconian.
2. Why should I have to verify a persons legality? My company makes fasteners and if I find a person who can do a good job at the rate I want to pay and they fit in with my business (Very specifically they must speak English) I want to be able to hire them.
3. see number 2.
4. see number 2.
5. I will always pay my share and my employees pay theirs with their weekly paychecks.
6. We already have those. They are called reservations. They would just have to be updated for current use.

Where do you get the idea that immigration causes a higher crime rate? Do you really think that immigrants have a higher per capita crime rate than American citizens in general? You're delusional.

I additionally oppose any variety of centred visitor worker software. I assure that if authorized, the prevalent public of centred visitor workers might stay in the U. S. illegally after their visas are up. undesirable habit shouldn´t be rewarded, that´s why their could be no amnesty, no centred visitor worker software, and no giving illegals any variety of course to citizenship. the undertaking will purely worsen in the event that they are granted those issues.

all im concerned about is that immigrants should be asked to pledge allegiance to democracy and the rule of law.

Better than #6.
First time they are here illegally, tattoo them and return them to their homeland packed in a truck. (Likely how they got here)
Second time they are caught return them to their homeland in a bodybag.
END OF PROBLEM
