In addition, these people would have legal status and thus would qualify for jobs and paying taxes and would not ever be a drain on the system.

No, I didn't miss it. It's just irrelevant. If you overstay your visa, you're illegal and are responsible for any fees that you might incur. I know as a liberal you're inclined to forgive laziness and stupidity, but let's reward it, shall we?
