An immigration amnesty could be a real problem-solver for the US
It’s difficult to get a handle on how many illegal immigrants there are in the US, but the estimated number is around 12 million, with just over half being from Mexico.

Rounding them up and shipping them home would be a major undertaking, and could cause friction with Mexico.
