It can be very expensive and take a long time, to cross the border, you need to have people in America "sponsor" them, which means be ready to pay if the Mexican person can't. Most of the people who want to come here do it for a better opportunity at making money, so they don't have any to start with and need it soon. They can either skip the red tape and hire a coyote to smuggle them across or take their chances and do it for almost free.

Because the average American lives in a dream world; kept alive by the American media.
There are between 12 and 21 million illegals in this country. The most common figure seems to be about 14 million. They got here because people in and behind the U.S. Government did not want to stop them.
Those coming from Mexico pay about $1,500 each to get across. $1,500 x 14 million equals ????? big bucks. Do you really think that "Little Jose's Mexican Transport" took in all those billions without anyone in the U.S. receiving both direct and indirect payments and benefits?
Agriculture, construction and other business benefits from the cheap labor. The billions sent back to Mexico via Wal Martinez, Western Union, etc., helps out at 'home' and the transfer charges are a very nice chunk of change. All is not limited to Mexico. U.S. Immigration attorneys take in multi-millions, if not billions, while the churches cry humanitarian crocodile tears and collect money from the faithfull from many countries.
Congress doesn't do much about this, for it is part of the goose that lays their golden egg; just like the traffic in illegal drugs. Like most Americans, you probably think drug lords are in Mexico, South America and Laos.
Think about the bill that was before Congress. It had a provision that each "illegal" pay about $5,000 to come in legally! How about $5,000 times 14 million on top of the $1,500 times 14 million? Love that money. Will your little pocket calculator handle the above figures?
What was once the U.S. immigration and naturalizlation service, now ICE under HS, and a handfull of private big business firms are, and were ready, to collect untold millions in fees; even without this symbotic change. A change to a situation which has existed to the benefit of various families from before the Alamo. And a situation, by the way, which has nothing to do with keeping America safe from Osama Ben whatever.
There are a hundred and one things that go on with illegal immigration such as prostitution. Try a Yahoo search for "Latin American Prostitution in U.S." and articles about the Strawberry Fields near San Diego, Ca. This is just two per cent of the money picture that goes with the trade in human souls conducted by various governments.
Your answer: To many key people, of every race, make money from illegal traffic in human souls across international boundaries. This traffic, going on since before recorded history, now stands as one of the world's biggest businesses after religion and pornography.

Supposedly no money, live in country side, no skills, how big a chance the US government will grand them the entrance? Most of them pay off their "transportation" fee after them start working here, and to say "tax free".

the legal process takes time and money, since so many of them want to come, there are huge waiting periods to get the documents necessary for it to be legal.
They don't respect our laws and policies so they just come illegally and take whatever free and illegal support they can get.

some do it legally and it costs them thousands of dollars. i worked with a guy and it took him about 6 years and over 6 grand to become legal. he's no fan of illegals since they cost him money and drive down his wages.
