Trump orders wall to be built on Mexico border

Then that^ is what needs to change.

Apart from the question of "how", there's another thing. Who's going to toil the fields if they're gone? Who's cleaning the offices?

That's the jobs they're doing and that's also not the kind of jobs Americans want to do. Not for that kind of money being on offer.

Right. A person can be a perfectly good, honest, hardworking person while still being poor and uneducated.

We would need to get to the root of the problem and look at what sort of "criteria" we use to allow ppl in.

Then come here lagally. There's a legal way to do it.

You really are clueless about this stuff?  You aren't faking it?

Per-country quotas restrict individuals from any single country seeking to come to the U.S. to no more than 7 percent of the green cards available in any category in any year. This restriction favors those from small countries at the expense of those from larger ones. By treating nationality as the relevant factor, India is treated equally with Luxembourg, but Indian immigrants are massively disadvantaged.

The large countries that are most disadvantaged — the Philippines, India, China and Mexico — are all non-European nations that, until recently, had little ethnic representation in the U.S.While the issue is ignored, the lines for visas have stretched to absurd lengths. Adult children of U.S. citizens from Mexico, Philippines, India and China can expect seven- to 21-year waiting periods.

So yeah - there is a "legal" way to do it.... and it really helps if you aren't from one of those "brown" or "yellow" countries.

We came from Venezuela and Brazil in the 90's. 3rd world, non European countires. By "we" I mean my parents and siblings, my paternal grandparents, and my paternal aunts and uncles with their kids. And half of us are "brown".

Yes, there is a legal way to do it lol. Let's not pretend like there isnt.

The question is whether the criteria for letting ppl in is fair. If not, then that is what needs to change in the first place.
