I basically agree with that, although I don't the government should be hunting down illegal immigrants for the sake of deporting them. If they get arrested for some other criminal act, then off they go.
As long as people are peaceful members of society, I'm happy for them to be here.

That gets to Milton Friedman's point about open borders being incompatible with a welfare state. I'd prefer the peaceful immigrants to the welfare state.

I think the problem is that the USA is trying to take on too much. I do believe they could simplify immigration. But I also believe people need to be responsible for themselves.

The immigration proposal I like the most is the sponsorship idea. Basically, if a legal resident invites you (job offer, rental agreement, visiting family, etc), then you're welcome to come, but whoever invited you assumes responsibility for you while you're here.

Yes, I also believe in this idea. Less problems would happen.
