The "small issue" you described is a logistical one that remains unsolved by bureaucrats, lawmakers, judges, or anyone else. "Bad actors ruin it for those who really need it" is the same "small issue" people use to argue against many services people genuinely need in order to survive.

"Deport them all and let God sort 'em out" is the course America has chosen, and it is the immoral course, as far as I am concerned.

we need more people processing immigration paperwork

Agreed, but it won't happen, especially under this administration. They don't want more immigrants, even "legal" ones. They say they are only against "illegal" immigrants, but let's be real here. Lemme know when they sign into law some additional funding for hiring more bureaucrats to parse immigration paperwork. I won't hold my breath.

When immigrants know the legal pathway is unreasonably slow and will not be improved in any way, there's no incentive to do it the "legal" way.
