I agree, yet even though the process IS too long (imho) there are millions here LEGALLY on work and student visas, as well as those that are in the process of gaining citizenship

Having worked to obtain a work visa for a person, I can tell you that even that process is way too long - 12 to 18 months.

Not if your kid is starving.
Seriously - the poverty in Mexico is stunning, I’m sure you know.
What would I do in that situation? Try to find a better life. And even for those making less than the legal minimum wage, the pay is sufficient to provide a better life for their families than what the had back home. What does that tell you?

It’s a difficult and complicated situation, I agree. And honestly, none of our politicians, going back for years, has shown the slightest inclination to really try to fix it.
