of course I don't have a complete answer but I have interviewed a few people who are knowledgable of the issues. I have interviewed people with 30 years experience, candidates for offices, sitting officials state and national level, as well as groups that work with these people and even the people themselves. Here is what I think would help to solve this.

First, learn the real facts about who "illegal immigrants" and the make up of them. I could break it down more but to put it simply, there are those who obey the law, use no government services, and tries to stay under the radar, others got here legally but due to red tape and such their visas expired through no fault of their own, and there are those who are here for the purpose of creating trouble. If we spend time on the first 2 groups that make up most of them, then we spend more resources going after them and less time and resources getting the real trouble makers.

Then we should work out a system to get those in the shadows not creating trouble a way to become legal and work for citizenship in a reasonable time period without deporting them. This would take away some of the distrust between them and law enforcement in reporting the real trouble makers.

Also we need to learn more about the real problems of this issue so we can offset the right's lies spread by Jan Brewer, Joe Arpaio and their kind. As long as they dominate this and go unchecked we are letting them dictate it.
