The problem is, for most there is no way to legally immigrate. People talk about how they should get in line, but there's no line for them to get into. Legal immigration is very limited, and most of the people who are doing the essential work don't have a legal means to immigrate. These are people who work hard, and only want to make a better life for their families.
There is a line. The problem is people don't want to get into that line (they want to get in here tomorrow). In fact, the U.S. embassy sponsors a green card lottery and some people have been able to come up that way. People do have the legal means to get here, they may not have the $$ requirements...but get this: some of them manage to scrape up the money to pay the coyotes (which sometimes is in excess of Five thousand dollars)!!!
Yes some of them work hard I acknowledge that. These are the folks who would benefit from the programs they want to put in place. They should be all for it.
