Agreed! something so important as helping to decide the destiny and business of a country and the citizens' lives of course should not be treated so casually. Candidates should have to prove legitimacy as well as all of us voters.
However, illegal voters are going to be needed to help re-elect our Communist president. Sadly, what you speak of here that is such a no-brainer of a necessity will not be happening anytime soon.
People shouldn't be granted citizenship just because they are born here. Once a person turns 16, they need to take the same citizenship test given to immigrants. If you fail you can't vote, can't work, can't drive, and are ineligible for any government services.
On immigration, the government needs to stop meddling in the labor markets. Labor unions originally pushed for restrictions on immigration to prevent competition from unorganized labor. If a person is not a criminal in their homeland, then there should be no barriers to their coming here to work. After a period of time, if they are decent hard workers, then they can test for citizenship.

Fine. I'll be your Huckleberry. But I'd qualify it with this...if you can't prove you're family was here before the United States became the United States, your vote doesn't count as a whole vote. M'kay?!
If you came between 1776-1788 your vote is worth 3/4 of a vote. After 1788-1865 a 1/2 vote. After 1865...1/4 vote.
For those who's families were here before the U.S. was the U.S., get a 50% bonus equating to a 1.5 vote per person who can prove it.
