Well, it needs reformed. When there are 11 million undocumented workers in the country, there's clearly a market distortion going on. The problem is, we have a demand-side problem (need for unskilled or semi-skilled labor), but insist on treating it with supply-side solutions (Higher walls! More deportation!). That's not going to work. The nimble small businesses of illegal immigration will easily come up with new ways to bring them in faster than slow government can plug the leaks. Leaving morality out of it, it's not an EFFECTIVE approach. And it's a frustrating situation, because it turns many ordinary, otherwise law-abiding Americans into tacit criminals, consciously or unconsciously hiring undocumented workers to do basic stuff like wash the dishes or mow the lawn. And the illegal workers live in fear and don't participate in the processes they should, like getting driver's licenses. A sensible visa system could address the supply side by giving a legal mechanism for a sufficient number of workers, reducing demand for illegals, and would allow those newly legal workers to participate without fear as residents, if not citizens. It would reduce crime and stress.
