There are 140,000 legal visas issued for immigration. The million who come in illegally are....well.....illegal.

The number of legal immigrants should probably be raised but certainly not that much. The workers permits will put a stop to illegal immigration and, if the quotas are increased, more will apply for legal status. By breaking the rules of the blue cards (or coming in illegally) you will never be eligible for legal immigration.

There is a big difference between immigration (object to become a US citizen) and a guest worker.

Trust me, there are about one million legal immigrants admitted each year. It must be that 'green cards' only account for a small portion of them. But it is true that the number of legal immigrants admitted each year is about one million.
