The solution to illegal immigration is to make it legal.

Furthermore, the cause of illegal immigration is a bureaucratic, expensive and terribly designed legal immigration. If someone wants to enter a country, we ought to impose only a minimal process for letting them in - check 'em for any infectious diseases, show some kind of birth certificate or passport and in you come. Anything else is completely antithetical to a free society.

Immigration quotas are a bad law. If the government passes a law, and lots of people break that law, then ipso facto it is a bad law.
That's one of those very, very rare moments when you'll catch me agreeing with something that came out of Ayn Rand's mouth.

When someone says something that came out of Ayn Rand's mouth, my first impulse is to take back the cred I've given them.If substantial numbers of people break a law, then it is a bad law.
i only agree with that sentiment (which i believe you should claim) for very precise sizes of "a lot of people".
