Widening (and simplifying) the legal gate AND building a bigger wall are both required - I'm pro immigration, and everyone who can't trace their family tree back to a native american should be, but we have a right (as a nation) to know and decide who is allowed to move in. The simple fact is that no one wants criminals moving in, and when someone chooses to begin by breaking (arguably stupid) laws that doesn't start things off on the right foot.
I'd love to see a nearly restriction free (maybe pending some basic health and criminal background checks) sponsorship program - have friends of family that want to come here to live? + willing to give them room and board till they get on their feet? = low friction streamlined entry and a fast lane to citizenship!
