In a related subject, if the US amends its immigration policy and brings about a path to citizenship, it could result in a upswing in revenues captured by various taxes. It would mean that the solvency of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid would be improved since more people are paying into the system and the same goes for health care - they would be paying into the system (through their employers) and reliance on emergency rooms for indigent care would be reduced.

That also doesn’t take into account the fact that if a path to citizenship (or more broadly a legal immigrant status), there could be fees imposed for bringing someone’s status into legal conformity.
