Yes we should do something. I believe: we are not going to be able to deal with the sheer numbers of people who have entered our country illegally. We can't even begin to deport them, and we also shouldn't give them free shelter, food, and healthcare when we can't even provide these things to our actual citizens. We have to have people enter legally there's a process and laws that should be observed. Part of the problem is that there is too much incentive to come here illegally. We do need to secure the border first, then offer an amnesty program for those who are already here. A path to citizenship that is attainable but requires the applicant to invest in the process. Once those 2 things are done or in process. Then totally remove all incentives to come. For non-citizens or those without an application for citizenship, no housing, no banking, no automobile purchases, no jobs, no credit, no loans, no state funded medical care, no citizenship for children born to non-nationals. No harboring non-nationals, no employing them under the table. If coming here has zero benefits, people won't risk life and limb to sneak in.
