Ten,

Frankly, illegal immigration is not a red flag issue with me, and I haven't given it a lot of thought. The only thing that bugs me is that the folks that rally the hardest against immigration, well sometimes there seems to be a racist undertone to their arguments.

It's not something that would be difficult to change, you simply impose a VERY severe penalty on anyone that hires an illegal, huge fines and maybe jail time for the owner of the business. End of problem, no incentive to cross the border if there is no money to be made. The tradeoff is of course that some goods and services get more expensive. Maybe imported oranges become less expensive than domestic oranges, and some of the groves go out of business. Then again, maybe some of the software guys that are losing their jobs to cheap Indian labor could fill the void?
