Why doesn't the US just increase the number of authorized immigrants? Does anyone know the basis for this? They're already here... so why not make them legal (with obviously some scrutiny... don't want felons to stay)? If they become legal, they start paying taxes, can get medical insurance, which in turn takes eases the burden on hospitals, makes more money available for welfare...
I've never understood why we don't have a short amnesty period in which everyone already here can register and start the legal naturalization process. Denying them legal status does not make them go home.
