Green cards grant permanent residency in the US, allowing immigrants to live and work indefinitely. The US issues a limited number annually—currently around 140,000 employment-based and 226,000 family-based slots—creating backlogs that can stretch years. Rising immigration detention has sparked debate over whether increasing green card issuance would reduce detentions by processing more people through legal channels, or whether it should be decoupled from enforcement priorities.
