Illegal immigrants become American citizens.

Officially, there will never be a green card. As soon as the United States checks, without your entry record, you can't produce a birth certificate (indicating that you were born in the United States), which means that you are illegal.

However, every immigration (major) reform includes a clause granting amnesty to long-term illegal immigrants. 1986 did it once (or 1987, anyway, it was the Reagan era), and it was tried again in 2007, but this time Congress did not approve it. So if you want to gamble, there is this way.

It is impossible to pass on identity through children. Although the Immigration Department forgave the immediate family members for overstaying, there must be people who can overstay (smuggling is not allowed because they don't have your entry record), and they are still prohibited from entering the country for 10 years. After 10 years, children who have reached the age of 2 1 year and have a certain income can apply for family immigration.
