If more green cards could be easily accessible to immigrants, there would be less controversy and violence surrounding the illegal immigration process and the extremes one must go through in attempting to cross the confine. Along with this, unemployment rates in the United States would decline as more immigrants would join the workforce and be willing to work for less than usual compensation. Furthermore, couples immigrating from the border could reproduce and increase the number of children in the Rio Grande Valley, thus increasing the demand for more schools and services, which also directly increases the employment rate of teachers and custodial workers. Although there is much debate about immigration reform and whether side would be the best option, immigrants who flee their country and come to America could benefit greatly from a perfectly competitive green card market in the Rio Grande.
