This issue is one of Trumps primary planks, and it is a very difficult one. These are my thoughts on the situation and how it should be handled, and I feel that many if not most of these immigrants could easily be won to the GOP point of view if we handle it with care.
The Wall - I find it hard to believe that we are going to build a wall across our entire southern border. Maybe for some stretches a wall makes sense. But that is neither here nor there. We can strengthen a virtual wall to the point where very few will make it across without our consent. So we shouldn't be hanging our hats on the physical wall. We should just do a great job at patrolling and enforcing our sovereignty as a nation. We can do that. The goal is to allow those in that we approve, and keep those out that we do not.
Legal immigration - We need to streamline the process, read: Speed it up. There are plenty of folks around the world that want to come here, and we want them here. They bring education, skills, and a desire to work that this country needs. We are poised on the brink of a huge labor shortage over the next few generations, and if you haven't noticed, our younger generation is not full of folks ready to work hard. I have seen again and again our kids not getting their first job until their mid-twenties. 40 years ago every kid I knew in high school had a job or was trying hard to get one. We've lost that will somehow, likely because we've spoiled our kids endlessly.
So we need skilled and motivated workers. Let's bring in the best.
Hispanics that are here illegally - We are not going to deport 30 million people, ripping families apart. They are here, for the most part they are working hard, and to send them back is going to make enemies of them, including their citizen children for life. Give them a quick path to citizenship. Win them to the GOP for life. In just a few generations they will probably be the deciding factor in elections going forward. They are already strong. Let's not be idiots in dealing with this group of people. They are hard working, love God for the most part, and have strong families and good ethics. These ARE the citizens we want to let in.
As far as the law breakers are concerned, send them back where they came from, no questions asked. Get rid of them. Lock them up. We have plenty of citizens in this country that are bad folks. We know how to handle them. Do the same for criminal illegals, and quite equating them with the majority of Hispanic immigrants that are good hard working people.
We need to get this done for the good of the country and the good of the party. There will be enough jobs for everyone here before long. Trump will undue the regulatory shackles that have hamstrung this country for the last decade. We have enough resource and opportunity to make this happen. To let this opportunity slip away is to ensure the destruction of the party. And it will certainly piss of the liberals.

Saying the same thing over and over is likely to get you hit with a Rule 2 Spam violation. I'd suggest that you stop repeating yourself and actually try and debate what is said.
