Maybe your friend has a sad story --- but what about this one friend of mine -- not really a friend but an aquaintance and a very good person. She went to university in the USA, she lives in Mexico, has no relatives here to sponsor her but she'd like to work here instead of over there because it pays a lot more ---however there isn't a great need that can be shown in her type of employment for workers --- but she's doing everything the legal way so coming over will probably take a long time --- if it ever works out for her --- why should someone who chose to ignore the immigration laws be moved ahead of someone who is trying very hard to follow them?

Why should a lawbreaker be given cuts in the line? Why should they be allowed to take a job that someone who is patiently and carefully following the rules is waiting to take?

Ok. Then we'll send him back to Belize. And your Mexican friend with her University Degree can have his job as maintenance person for an apt complex, cleaning floors and taking out the trash.
Somehow I doubt if she'll resent him cutting in line for that opportunity.

Actually since he is not in the legal immigration system, waiting to get in the US....he has not cut in the line in front of your friend anyway and has absolutely no effect on her chances to enter this country legally. So it's a moot point.
