2. Tax the gains (make them pay a fine for citizenship/breaking the law)
3. Give them a pass, watch our portfolio grow overnight, and proceed proceed in steady growth America has after all immigrant-waves to America.

But besides all that, its just the right thing to do. When you give people a stake in society, they will defend it. They have dignity, and they'll prove it in a society above ground or below. Getting off on the right foot with a big group of immigrants is crucial. Giving them citizenship is the easy part. Getting over the xenophobia is the bigger hurdle IMHO
Why is it so hard for you people to understand that we have a process in place for those who want to come in? Why is it so hard for you to understand that those who sneak in are very inconsiderate of those who actually go through the process?

Next time when you come half way across the country to visit Disneyland, staying in line for an hour for each ride, I'll cut in front of you because I live close, see if you like it. Go ahead, call the park authority. I have a lobbying group asking them to grant me legitimacy to cut in line. Because I'm just here to enjoy a nice day with my family.
