> if it's illegal then the country isn't letting them do it.
Parent's suggestion was to make all illegal immigrants able to work legally, no question asked. This is equivalent to legalize all illegal immigrants, which is not a solution, it's a capitulation.

Well, no. The government is introducing a surveillance card because they always wanted to do that. They are able to use migrants as an excuse because every other means of controlling asylum seekers during their examination period has been made impossible.
To be absolutely clear, the problem is not legal migrants entering the country or asylum seekers seeking asylum. The problem is asylum seekers using the asylum process as a loophole to enter the country and disappear from the government's radar. The government is unable to close the loophole and now it is using the mere existence of the loophole to justify mass surveillance of everyone but those who should be watched.
