I can understand and sympathize with people who want to come here to work and have a better life, but either we have a system or we have a free-for-all. The people I really feel sorry for are the ones standing in the line, going through all the proper steps to come here the right way. Good people, but suckers. Instead we effectively reward those who come on on temporary visas (or no visa at all) and then disappear.
My wife is friends with a family who’s been trying to get their grandmother her from the Philippines for 12 years. The whole family is here legally, but can’t seem to get grandma in. I told them to fly her to TJ and pay someone a $1,000 to drive her over.
