I’m circling back belatedly. I want all immigration regulated, with the goal of no “undocumented” over time. I think we need a reasonable level of amnesty, together with really, really meaning it this time with regard to further unlawful entry (through legislation with enhanced sanctions), as well as relatively free availability of non-immigrant visas for the labor we need.

Please see my comment on this in response to TomD, immediately below. One of my frustrations with the US immigration debate is that other countries have already found solutions to a lot of these questions, and we can copy them rather than reinventing it all from scratch. The US is the world's greatest immigration magnet so not all solutions are scalable, but some of them are, and others can be adapted.
