We don't need to relax our immigration process or change any laws. We just need to make it unattractive for immigrants to cross without legal status. It could be done with the greatest of ease and wouldn't require one penny to be spent deporting the majority of the illegal aliens that currently squat in our country. The violent criminals and gang members would have to be rounded up in the traditional manner, but that's going to be the case, no matter what.
We could call it the Responsible Immigration Act of 2014. It would be ONE page in length. It's obvious and irrefutable, which is why the progressives in both parties would never allow it.
