I predict that not too many people will take IF this becomes law. The $5000 payment plus more for dependents will discourage many as it greatly exceeds what we had to pay for the SRRV courtesy visa, typically a route for expats if wife is a foreign citizen, and way above 13a costs. The amount of documentation is way high, probably equal to or exceeding SRRV and 13a. I think if somebody had overstayed a long time they will figure that they are getting away with it and when you figure that $5k could get them a used car or future medical payments, I would think that anyone who actually had the sense of responsibility to be legal would have done it long ago. Very few become trapped as an illegal when they already have the money, it is only when they don’t have the money, or are too cheap to become legal, in both cases having no business being here, being no better morally than the illegal Mexicans back home.
