It would be difficult but I know of no other way to be fair to the ones who follow our laws and get in line to immigrate legally sometimes waiting many years. I know that life is not fair but this is something we can have control over.
From what little I understand about the matter, I don't think our immigration laws are that unreasonable and if they are so bad that we must grant amnesty to those who break them then maybe we should change them.
People break laws all the time because they think it is in their best interests to do so (taxes comes to mind) but that is no reason to grant amnesty to those who have violated the law the longest.
