Immigration is a problem that our heritage shouldn't allow to be a problem, we are a nation of immigrants. Nobody is a real American everyone in the United States is an immigrant, except, of course, the native Americans. Following the logic of many anti-immigration people everyone except native Americans should be sent back to their ancestral homes in Eurasia and Africa. (That is where we all came from)
I think the major problem most people have about immigration is that people are breaking the law, which is solvable. We simply need to change our immigration laws to allow people who want to come to the United States for a better life can actually do it, the real reason that people enter the U.S. illegally is because they can't do it legally it's way, way, to difficult to gain residency in the United States and the people who want enter the U.S. are often desperate and will do whatever it takes to get here, as far as making deals with criminals (aka. coyotes) to be smuggled into the United States. Criminals who often hold the people as ransom and even murder them after collecting the money. All this is due mainly to the fact that desperate people will not struggle with our useless immigration system to enter legally into the United States when they can be taken there in a reasonable amount of time because they are desperate. Desperate people will not wait for bureaucrats to sift papers until they decide that its time to get some papers of their desks and (hopefully) grant them a chance to live in the U.S.
