No illegal immigrant should ever be imposed arbitrary minimum time limits before they are allowed a legal reentry into the country. Illegal immigrants should be allowed to reenter the country the same day if they can do so legally. But they must be physically deported all the way back to their original departure point before they are legally allowed to return.

Or, illegal immigrants who are otherwise eligible for legal reentry, could be allowed to remain in the country, without returning home, upon payment of a penalty equivalent to 125% of what it would have cost to go back to their original place of origin and return.
