Stronger border security, crack down on employers, make sure that it doesn’t lead to discrimination against people with spanish surnames. Path to citizenship, but back of the line. We need o fix the legal immigration system. Too expensive. Fix it. We have to improve our relationship with Mexico so that there economy is producing jobs on that side of the border. Problem is Bush dropped the ball because he has been so obsesssed with Iraq.</p> HRC: There must be a path to legalization.
