The United States government should reform the immigration system as soon as possible. Allowing the existing legal and illegal immigrants to apply for a Permanent Residence Card (Green Card), would not only solve most of the issue regarding the illegal immigrants in this country, but also help the national revenue due to the income taxes from these millions of new taxpayers.
A reform on the immigration system would also help people from all countries to apply for a working visa and eventually obtain their green cards before coming to the United States, reducing the amount of illegal immigrants coming without a job or a place to stay. It would also help the government to monitor who enters this country and help with national security.
An immigration reform is necessary NOW!
