President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.
“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

It doesn't require that there be a credible legal way to immigrate. It absolutely does not.
We DO NOT have to accept these people. This is OUR nation. We can choose to accept ZERO and that is our right. This land is OUR land.
It is especially bad to accept any immigrant who would enlarge a significant non-English ghetto. This means that all Spanish-speaking people, without regard for country of origin, are really bad.

Tell that to all the greedhead CEOs who love the slave labor force with no rights, the Democrats who are cynically aiming for a larger voter base, and so on. THAT is your problem right there. The US could stop illegal immigration easily if it had the political will: destroy and nationalize any company hiring illegals. But it won't, because the system WANTS this. Which means you lot are being played for a fool by the very people stoking your anti-immigrant sentiment.
Wake up and smell the cafe con leche: the elite are using you *and* the illegals and playing you off one another. The illegals didn't steal your job; the elite did, and GAVE it to one of them.

Yes, it does. Because otherwise it's just an empty threat and would-be illegal immigrants have no incentive to stay out.
We had the same drama with Europeans (Poles, Germans, Scandinavians, etc). It sorted out fine.

We catch them. We flay them. Who will sign up for that? Obviously we don't just set them back on the other side of the border to try again.
Prison works too, as long as we take it seriously. We can outsource the prisons to El Salvador, Haiti, Democratic Republic of the Congo, North Korea, or any other place that would make prisons be an actual punishment.
The drama with Europeans was less severe except possibly for the Germans. It took a couple centuries to fully clear that up. We actually needed a world war against Germany to make speaking German be fully unacceptable in public. So... is your solution to have a world war against a Spanish-speaking country? IMHO that would really suck.
I don't want to wait 2 centuries to get my country unified again. I won't live that long. I'd suffer all my life, and my great-grandchildren would too.

Eighth amendment precludes us from inflicting cruel and unusual punishments, such as flaying, for minor crimes like illegal immigration.
It never was a problem, much less one requiring a world war.
When was the last time it was "unified" in the way you claim? I think ignorance of history is biting you here.
