Secondly, going forward I want America to determine how we handle the matter of LEGAL immigration.

I don't know why an economics approach can't be implemented. There is a supply, demand, and some sort of objective value to be it all on. People can apply for citizenship, and then whether through public service, a type of payroll taxes, etc. they can pay off the value, with their labor and/or currency.

Maybe have various tiers to work through with added privileges and/or benefits. And obviously this would be contingent on lawful behavior.

In other words, incentivize people to work and make a life for themsleves while obeying the law. Then they can focus enforcement on those who don't abide, rather than the larger group.
