Not true that it is easier to get entry into the US legally.If they were wearing any uniform, we would be defending ourselves and calling it an invasion.
The irony is, it's harder to get entry to live in her country than it is yours. In fact just about every country is harder to gain entry into than yours.
I have 3 countries on my short list to move to. All of them would turn away what we don't. They sure as heck don't provide housing, healthcare, education and legal rights. I actually need to have health records, no arrest records and $$ to support myself.
What a drastic concept!
To put it in other words, it is easy to get into the US illegally and with a scam become legal. But to do it legally in the first place, the right way is not easy.
I'm a naturalized citizen, and immigrated here because my wife who is American wanted to come home. It took 6 years, lawyers and lots of interviews. That is after I use to travel here frequently on business, as I worked for an American company abroad and use to pump close to $1 billion into the US per year through business dealings.
To sponsor my daughter to come and stay here legally, will take 14 years, she has a PhD and works in a senior job on the stock exchange. None of that matters, because she is not a refugee fleeing for the safety of her life.
