Not me but the USG. Why else are we letting them come in and now, with amnesties and defacto citizenship, ie drivers licenses? Legality means they get taxes withheld and make FICA payments. No more under the table payments.

I can't think of any other reason for this whole situation.

There are some other reasons. A big one is that both major political parties see them as a potential long-term future special interest voting bloc. The problem is that only the Democrats are correct in this assessment. That's why the Republicans are correctly known as the "stupid party".
