There is a disconnect for many people on the difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration. Polls indicate that most Americans are in favor of preserving each of the individual categories of legal immigration. However, these legal pathways are extremely cumbersome to successfully navigate. On top of that, because of outdated quotas and insufficient numbers, it can take years and, for some, decades to legally live and work in the United States.

Not only have foreign-born entrepreneurs or children of immigrants started around 40% of Fortune 500 companies like Google, Zoom, Amazon, Apple, eBay, but foreign national employees also fill much-needed skills gaps in many industries, most notably in the medical field.
