I guess if you dont really want to think much about it thats an okay answer.
It's just a simple, clean, solutionn. All the incentives line up for all the players, it's ethical, it's practical, and it's a sustainable system. It even has natural feedback mechanisms
You keep gesturing towards vague problems with the idea...I can't do your thinking for you
You seem very concerned about the border - that's a separate issue and must be handled separately. I think we should have open borders, but we're not in a place where we can do it right now. Between the consequences of the war on drugs, certain trade restrictions, and the current tarrifs, it would have some pretty terrible knock on effects.
We also can't take care of our own population properly due to cutting all the safety nets and letting capitol run free, so we're not equipped to handle refugees, and being the only open border would mean a lot more refugees
So open borders are good, but a lot of ground work has to be done for that to be practical. But legalizing every illegal American? We can do that today, and it would be good for everyone
