Changes

To some people the value of American citizenship has increased greatly since the founding of the Republic. There are 12 million illegal citizens living here in USA and it would be very costly to deport all these people. It becomes more complicated as they marry and have children which are then legal US citizens.  There is a discussion of allowing these 12 million people to follow certain steps to become citizens that can pay taxes and become more contributing members of society.  Some people view this as granting amnesty to criminals but do not offer an actual solution to the immigration problem.
