Is there another state in the world that extends programs like these to "Undocumented" (i.e. people who have overstayed their visa or snuck over a border to get in)?
I genuinely don't know if it's net-good or net-bad to go this route. But I've never heard of anywhere else doing this.
The closest I've seen are amnesty periods, where you get to declare yourself an illegal alien and be processed out via the airport without the usual fine or re-entry ban.
