Yeah, I know how expensive and time consuming it is to go through the immigration system legally.
There's a whole system of quotas where some people languish in Visa hell for 20 years just to get here at times. But that highlights the problems of the immigration system, that it should be reformed, not wasting money on giant fences, etc.
But alas we are getting off tangent here. We know the positions on this issue, and we'll just go on circular arguments per usual.
