Evidence: Most of the money they earn is sent straight to their native country, deflating the American economy.
Reason 3: Naturalization – if legal process is sped up, there would be less incentive to immigrate here illegally
Evidence: Many aliens lose their lives attempting risky ways to get into
Evidence: If someone’s green card application would go through on time then most illegal immigrants would become legal visitors.
Evidence: There would be no need to immigrate illegally if you could come here legally in a timely manner.
