That’s not the point I’m trying to make. My point is that people seem to believe that all the illegal immigrants coming into the States are only coming in illegally because they can’t be arsed to follow the law and want to leech off the hardworking American taxpayers. When in fact, it is America’s downright draconian immigration laws that are forcing them to use illegal measures, because otherwise they could spend years, even decades, trying and failing to convince the US government to let them in.
So, anyone who smugly proclaims that immigrants just need to “follow the law” is missing the point entirely. When the law works to actively try and prevent you from getting in, what other choice do you have?
