Refining my research topic

Immigration laws, does the process need to be so long?

1. Does making an immigrant wait so long and pay so much, really necessary just to get a piece of paper that says they're a citizen?

2. Why is the process so long, and does it actually benefit immigrants?

3. If the process for becoming a citizen was changed would more immigrants want to become citizens?

I think once people actually do some research on this topic, they find that the issue of immigration isn't as black and white as they thought. It is refreshing to hear the other side of the debate over simple misinformation like "Those darn Mexicans are taking all our jobs." What you might want to do is take on illegal immigration more than just immigration in general, since they are the ones who tend to be perpetuating these economic problems that conservatives keep touting. Better yet, research why a lot of immigrants from Mexico are in the U.S.A. illegally in the first place. How can we change our immigration policy to make it easier and more desirable to become a U.S. citizen?
