People may have wanted to come to America in the past. Today they are choosing various alternatives because America is shooting itself in the foot with insane red tape in legal immigration. And good people don't want to come illegally.
It's so backwards. It is easier to enter illegally than legally.
- mensetmanusman 4y agoAmerica is overwhelmed with illegal immigration so there are zero resources left to help with legal immigration.
- nine_zeros 4y agoIf America makes the legal immigration system not-so-kafkaesque, people will try to apply for the legal way instead of the illegal way. Right now, the legal system is not humanly accessible.
- mensetmanusman 4y agoNot sure if there are enough lawyers in existence to make it possible. When 100,000,000 say they want to immigrate legally, that level of interest will grid lock any system unless we automate it.
