What does it take to do the right thing to be legal in the US?

The biggest part of the problem is supply/demand.

There are 7 BILLION people in the world and most live in horrid conditions. It doesn't stop them from breeding children (they say they love - when they can't feed the ones they have just befuddles me).

The very last thing we should do is make it easier or cheaper. As it is now TAXPAYERS fund a large portion of immigrants costs to come here and go through the process. Making it easier and cheaper will accomplish 2 things:
1. Taxpayers will have to pay yet more to overpopulate our country.
2. We will overpopulate our country that much sooner.

Since the US would be stupid to increase legal immigration beyond our RECORD levels we have now there are just far too many who would like to come here then slots available.

We have over 305 million people and our population WILL HIT 600 million in about 50-60 years. That increase is virtually all due to immigrants and their children. By the time we have that many people we will have run out of water, good land, energy products (barring a miracle), ability to feed that many people, schools, hospitals, solid waste disposal sites, open areas like parks, etc. And by then it will be too late - we are selling out our childrens future to be politically correct when we should be saying this country is FULL!!

Once we say that then maybe people of this world will try to better their own countries because they will have little recourse.

You're simply wrong. We now admit roughly one MILLION LEGAL IMMIGRANTS EACH YEAR. Roughly 15-20 percent of them are from Mexico and have been for a couple of decades. Why? Because MOST of our legal immigration is "family reunification" so we give about 800,000 family-based green cards each year and 140,000 or so employment-based ones. You should also note that Hispanics account for almost 50 percent of all legal immigration and Asians for most of the other 50 percent. In short, our immigration policies unfairly favor Hispanics in general and MEXICANS in particular.

First, i'm not advocating illegal immigration...i'm advocating understanding of the problem.

A lot of poor people in Mexico, dont' even have birth certificates, let alone a photo ID....not to mention...it takes money to come here legally..it's not just a matter of filling out forms...maybe you should ask your mother more about it.

Ever consider you are one of the lucky ones ?

If her application was denied, would you be in America still ?...only as an illegal immigrant ?

The reality is that the system isn't fair...it's also inefficient, costly, and takes a long time. If you are a poor, undereducated person from Mexico,...you have virtually no chance of coming to the US legally... unless you happen to be really good at sports (e.g. soccer or baseball)

In order to make people want to use the front door to America, ... you have to make it more accessible than the backdoor. Currently it is not....because if it were a matter of simply ..."filling out the forms"....we wouldn't have this problem to begin with.
