Do you have an idea how much money it takes? If Mexicans had the money required for visas they wouldn't need to come here to work for $8/hr. mowing lawns.
Do you know how long it can take to get a visa? Sometimes many years. Most people have the God-given drive to find a way to feed their families when they are starving. This is just common sense. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
Many Mexicans lose their very lives on the journey here. They have to deal with robbers who lay in wait for them, Immigration looking for them, Minutemen, no food, no water, no money, extreme weather conditions, poor traveling conditions (hopping trains, packed liked sardines in trucks, etc.) It's worth the risk to them for the chance of a better life and a chance to escape poverty. How many lazy Americans won't even walk across the street to apply for a job at McDonalds because it's a shorter walk to the mailbox to p/u the welfare check?
