step one: defend the boarders, stop all illegal entry with the national guard who should be here and not iraq or afganistan.

step two: send all illegals back who are serious criminals.

step three: end the welfare system for illegals and our anchor baby policy.

step four: seek to create economic opportunities in third world countries.

step five: wake up from dream because none of this will ever happen.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me

From the OP article:

“We live in a globalized world,” [Bishop Wester] added, “in which capital, communication, and even goods are exchanged regularly, but the movement of labor has not been regularized, and its impact on human beings not acknowledged or addressed. As the most powerful country in our hemisphere and a destination for migrants, the United States should lead the way in this effort by reforming immigration laws as soon as possible.

Well said that man.
