Yes, it would be legal, but still mostly foreign. I'm not sure what the significant difference is if the government clamps down on illegals, but then opens up legal visas so the same workers can work for the same employers. The government has more control I guess, which seems opposite of what many of the people pushing such measures claim to advocate. I'm not so paranoid of governmental intervention, so don't necessarily see this as bad, but I don't see it as a huge improvement either. In general, most people would think one of the fundamental objects of government is in fact control of immigration. I'm skeptical of solutions to the problem of a country which wants to keep itself for its citizens and their children, but thinks foreigners are necessary for them to enjoy their God given standard of living. If you think you can solve that problem, you need more fundamental restructuring than these knee jerk laws exhibit.
