GDP = Gross Domestic Product.
In order to grow GDP, you must increase the production of goods and services domestically.
Sure, more money for investors/employees is not bad. But an amnesty is no different than the government directly giving money to them. It's never bad to give employees a tax credit, but when we're in such dire straits there are more urgent uses for the money. It's never about "Is giving money to X wasteful?" but more about "Is that the best I can do?"
