Having any sort of a visa policy means that we have to not let some people in.
But if you reward those who break the law to get in the country - it will just encourage more people to come.
Also why should someone try to migrate legally? Get all the paperwork sorted and everything. Just to see a bunch of undocumented immigrants skipping the line and getting in?
If I come to the USA as a tourist - why do I even have that 90 day time limit? Why can't you let me stay as long as I please?
We already punish people who come in illegally. It doesn’t seem to stop them.
Your logic is flawed.
The USA has so-called "sanctuary cities" that protect undocumented immigrants. Those cities encourage the immigrants to come, because it's less likely that they'll get punished for that.
Show me proof that any city in the US is encouraging illegal immigration.

If a city doesn't cooperate with ICE then undocumented migrants are more likely to go there.
That’s not proof of anything other than your racist and xenophobic speculation
