Resident Aliens

We must improve security on our borders while making it easier for Mexican Citizens to obtain legal entry into the country. I believe the unrealistic expenses ivolved are the foremost reason for illegal immigration. Rather than forcing these people to pay thousands of dollars to become legal resident aliens, we could offer some sort of deferment plan, deducted as a tax on monies earned in the US. Maybe 5% until all entry fees are paid and 1% on any further income until citizenship.
