Immigration - radical overhaul of the entire system. Increase visas for highly educated individuals interested in coming to America, but selection is based on domestic DEMAND so as to not put Americans out of a job. As for the illegals, step one is to build a big fence along the border. Step two is to simply enforce the laws on the books. Criminal penalties for employers of illegal workers. To that end, the INS would be strengthened, and actively seek out these employers and illegals. Allow law enforcement to verify citizenship, and immediately deport any who are not here legally. Streamline the process to becoming an American citizen, including learning American history and english. If you can't learn it, you can't come in.
