I stand against ILLEGAL immigration, but I do support LEGAL immigration. That's also a core value for ALIPAC.

So let's turn the tables on Mexico and other countries. Let's have the U.S. Embassy in Mexico (as an example) personally interview, do background checks, and pre-certify Mexican citizens wishing to become U.S. citizens. Those who qualify would then be allowed to LEGALLY cross at the border and enter the U.S. as DOCUMENTED persons who would have to work and pay taxes.

ANY criminal convictions or other misbehavior would result in immediate deportation. They would in essence be on probation and their whereabouts tracked while following a prescribed course to eventual citizenship if they fulfull all the requirements.

The best part is that every single person currently in our country illegally has to LEAVE the U.S., go home, and apply there to take advantage of the program. If they qualify, then they would be entering our country LEGALLY. And isn't that the point? If they don't qualify, they are already out of our country and no longer our problem.

Obviously this does rely on enforcing our borders to be effective. But what would you think of an approach like this?
