This is dangerous, in my opinion. It gives foreigners an incentive to come here illegally and stay for a long time, during which they work lower-class jobs for well under market value. That displaces American workers, lowers wages, and gives the foreigners a reason to come here instead of working on building industries in their home country, thus maintaining the issues that lead them to want to come here in the first place.
