The way to fight illegal immigration would be to go after the businesses and fine them more than the slap on the wrist they get now. The idea of making all 11 million illegal immigrants legal is pure idiotic. It was done under Reagan and that didn't solve anything. Most of the thinking seems to just try and patch the problem rather than address it with actual solutions. Crying that it is unfair to break families apart when they are breaking the law is about as dumb as fighting the war on drugs.

I'd just adress that by getting rid of the "Natural born" clause with "Born in this country while one of your parents is here legally."
Going after buisnesses would help, but I don't think it's a cure all either since a lot of people come here without expectation of employment from some under the table company, I think you really do need a couple walls on both borders.

I support changing the clause also. Some people seem to cry foul but I can't see what the big fuss about requiring at least one of the parents to be a legal citizen. I am pretty sure most countries have something similar to this or perhaps more strict. This would prevent the "anchor babies" or what I like to call the walk and drop (walk across the border and drop off the kid). Just because one can cross a border and have a kid shouldn't make that child an automatic USA citizen (when both parents aren't even US citizens).
