There’s a way for honest, well mannered, young Scots without criminal histories to get into the U.S.A. legally.
1. Be conservative and old fashioned in the American sense.
2. Get into good physical condition in advance if necessary. Exercise.
3. Date Americans. Be selective. Be very patient, and take your time (maybe at least a couple of years?). Communicate often. At your discretion, as trust increases, tell all about yourself. Avoid Americans who are not as open and honest as you are. Visit at least a few times.
4. Marry Americans.
Oh...I said Scots, didn’t I.

Very similar cultures are far less costly to assimilate than very different cultures. So yes, it makes a difference.
As a native born American of 100% Irish ancestry I say:Throw the feckin’ buggers out on their arse!’’
If they’re here illegally then they need to be tossed on to a barge heading back across the North Atlantic.
