I keep hearing about how much these illegals have to pay to get here. Why can't they do it legal?

Pfo I have seen to many come here and their families become well educated and affluent. These people are not stupid just different, and illegal.

If they came to the US legally, they would have to wait in line behind all of the others who want to have the same opportunities.
Instead, these people are greedy and self-serving. They have no concern for the lives they destroy by stealing someone else's ID. They use benefits that should go to taxpayers. They are not paying into our taxes because they are undocumented. The steal jobs that belonged to our less educated workers who would have paid taxes back into our government.
Instead, they bring disease and hate to a land that would have welcomed them if they had only followed the laws of our land. We now have hate in our country toward a race which the illegals have created - just one more reason they need to be deported.

Imagine if you will that tomorrow America lets in every single person that wants to come here.
People would be crowded in the streets because there wouldn't be enough housing at the arrival points.
Diseases would spread among those in the streets because we hadn't kept out those with contagious diseases.
Those who brought valuable things with them would be robbed because we hadn't kept out the criminals.
There would be fighting as they all were competing for the same jobs, the vast majority would be low skill, uneducated and unable to speak understandable English.
What other calamities can you imagine? Food supply? Water supply? Human waste? Slavery?
Luckily most that want to come here don't have the means to do it without a visa (oceans are kinda of hard to swim.)
The fact is, America has been trying to limit the incoming immigrants to a manageable level to prevent problems and that means we have to say "no" quite often. But because there are so many illegals we have become overwhelmed and ... well... you can read about the results right here in this forum.

Mostly it's the time involved between application and acceptance. Doing it legally is much cheaper then the coyote.
Many of the illegals do it that way because they simply don't qualify for a visa or green card. That's one reason the crime rate is getting higher in the states then here in Mexico.

Imagine if you're poor. No house, no phone, no job. And you expect those people to make phone calls, use the internet, study what they need to become American citizens? They don't have the tools or capabilities to do those things. That's why many of them just come here illegally.

coyotes charge between $1500-5000 grand to bring them here. They dont want to do it legally. Its much easier to break the law than follow it.

I don't think most of them have any concept of the law.

Because they are dirt poor. They pay coyotes off with time or they might pay with their life.
