You need people to follow those laws and a willingness to punish and hold accountable those who do not.  We have laws and a process for citizenship already in place and a large segment of the population not only supports ignoring those laws, they encourage breaking of them.  This segment includes people who should normally support following the laws of the land such as Governors and Mayors.  Poorly written laws or laws that don't allow the process to go as fast as you would like is no excuse to not follow them.  I'm all for re-writing bad laws but those bad laws get followed until such a time they are changed.
