According to CNN, 12 million illegal immigrants currently reside in the United States, which is roughly equivalent to the populations of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio or Michigan. Removing all 12 million illegal immigrants, then, would be like removing one of the states mentioned above, a pretty incredible task. In practical terms, it is not possible to send so many immigrants back to their countries efficiently and economically. This raises the question of what to do with the immigrants who are already here and how to increase security to keep the number of illegal immigrants entering under control. However, it may be feasible to grant citizenship to those illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for some time; that citizenship should carry a number of restrictions. In other words, you may be granted citizenship on a probationary basis. In terms of future illegal immigrants, increased security measures should be applied to limit the crossing of the territory by immigrants without adequate citizenship authorization or to better regulate the influx of incoming immigrants. Taken together, current illegal immigrants should receive a probationary citizenship license provided they enroll in an English class, take and pass a citizenship test, are able to provide family support without government assistance, and maintain a criminal record clean, all within an established period of time before receiving permanent citizenship; Furthermore, future immigrants should not be admitted to the United States by increasing border security measures to increase the effectiveness of incoming immigrant screening which could include building a better border and hiring more law enforcement personnel. order.
