The legal immigration, where they apply for visas, fill out all the forms, pay the usual fees, wait the usual long time, get their visa granted, get checked for criminal backgrounds and communicable diseases, and come in? (a) It hasn't increased, and (b) It's fine.
Or did you mean the 20-year invasion by 15 million illegal aliens from Mexico and other countries? It's bad news, since they brought in many of the habits that made their home countries so bad they're willing to risk their lives to get out and come here; communicable diseases ranging from tuberculosis to cholera to polio to bubonic plague, most of which we had eradicated in this country before they re-introduced them; and criminal pasts that they are happy to impose on us here.

Illegal crossings are up from last and shifting - with more apprehensions along the Rio Grande Valley.
Compare all of 2012 with 1/2 year 2013
Fiscal 2012
97,762 Rio Grande valley
120,000 Tucson Sector
YTD June 2013
94,000 Rio Grande valley
89,822 Tucson Sector
Note that these are still historic lows: "But while a 13 percent increase may sound dramatic, the number of apprehensions, 189,172, is still near historical lows. In the last 40 years, only the numbers for the first halves of fiscal 2011 and 2012 were lower."

In my neck of the woods it's all about Eastern Europeans who arrive in the Spring on tourist visas and work till the weather gets nasty. I could easily locate 100 a day.
