Has the recent infux of illegal immigration into the US made it more difficult for people to immigrate legally?
Easier?
Or has it stayed the same?
Why do you think so?

Much harder. For example the 1996 law changes were due to illegal immigration frustration, as is the current fight about H1B visa increases. Marital immigration fraud makes it slower to bring in spouses.
When we feel more than 'full' we aren't as liberal with our laws.

And do you realize that the US is one of the only countries on the planet that actually allows for the kind of atrocious immigration policy that we currently have? 100,000 people immigrating to the US a year is absolutely atrocious. 80% of our population growth is due to immigrants and their children. A lot of the immigration policies and red tape are ridiculous (not the ones prohibiting 3rd worlders) but then there are areas that need to be much stricter. Immigration policies are pretty much set by a cabal of corporations. We won't even have a say in the matter anyways. If we did illegal immigration would have ended decades ago. An immigration policy based on "feel bad emotions" is simply suicide. There are 2 billion people on the planet that live absolutely destitute lives and you know just as well as I do that that is a ridiculously large amount that the US cannot even accommodate a fraction of and if we did the entire country would be wrecked in a week. Immigration from the 3rd world brings higher crime rates and higher taxes or a more devalued dollar as they typically take more from the system than they give into it.

I think they made it harder for the legal aliens.
Excuse me? Did someone blame it on the Asians people stealing jobs? If you good at your job you should not be afraid of someone stealling it!!! And what kind of jobs did they steal???? Or you just jealous because some of us Asian done beter for ourself then you would have? When you said Asian you group everyone together and that is not right just like when people said "the Hispanic" or "the Black"....we are not all alike and not all Asian are illegal just the same as not all Hispanic are illegal.

More difficult.As I see many people just coming here however,my family members have to wait extended amounts of time just to come visit.Nowadays immigration asks for just about everything except the kitchen sink for someone to bring a spouse or relative.They want income tax records and all kinds of other proof as well.Not to mention all the money they charge for every paper filed.

Harder!! When my wife and I moved back from Germany, we had to go through all sorts of paperwork, fee's, finger printing, interviews, pictures, more interviews. I talked with other service members who had married foreign nationals and they didn't have to go through half of that stuff.
Plus, why is it ok for every other country to have stiff immigration laws but the US? Hell if you wanted to go to Mexico that's fine, but its a pain in the a** to become a citizen, and if your not a citizen you can't own any property. In Europe most of the countries require you to learn the language. If you don't no support from the government. Ride a train sometime through Europe, bet you get checked a couple times for your passport. Could you imagine a cop just checking passports in America.
And now everyone is crying about the National ID card, hell we are like the only country in the world that doesn't have one.

I think it may. Illegals' disregard for our law has created such aggravation that we may have to put a 10-year moratorium on all immigration.

No Clinton and the Congress of 96 made it more difficult and created the mess that there is now.

"No good deed goes unpunished." I think that it is funny how people are still complaining about Clinton when Bush/Cheney are destroying generations.
