Where do you stand on the issues of legal/illegal immigration to the United States?  Should U.S. policy focus on lesser or greater restrictions at our borders?

Approved Immigration Resources (see Sedgwick’s library page on the web for the links)

The reality is that there are close to 11 million people right now living in the United States that are illegal.   Last year, the US Border Patrol caught 404, 365 who were in the United States illegally.  The question remains, what needs to be done?  What does the U.S. government need to do to prevent illegal immigration?  What should the U.S. government do about the current illegal immigrant population living in the U.S.?  Or does the Mexican government need to step in and help?
