Undocumented immigrants crossing border - what *should* be the response?

Ok. So there are only 150 thousand Mexicans, most of them average Mexicans on family reunification programs, who can and do legally immigrate to the USA each year. I’m glad that’s been clarified, because your initial assertion, that “there is no legal way for you to do so”. was wildly misleading, and I would have been seriously embarrassed if I’d repeated that.

What I said is accurate. I said the average Mexican can’t immigrate to the United States legally and that’s a fact. The existence of the family reunification program (which I acknowledged) doesn’t change that. The average Mexican is not related to an American citizen so the program doesn’t apply to them.

There’s a lot of wildly misleading posts in this thread that people should be seriously embarrassed over. But nothing I posted.

They can’t do that unless someone accuses them of being racist.

Mostly through family reunification. If you aren’t related to a US citizen, your chances of immigration are slim. The lottery does not favor places like Mexico which already gets a ton of VISAs from family reunification.

That not true. They just have to say that “some people are calling it racist”.

If enough people accuse you of racism, you should consider the possibility that they’re right.

And also wildly misleading. I never challenged the accuracy of your wildly misleading assertion.

Which, at best, depends on a narrow reading of “average Mexican” which you should be ashamed of.

The average Mexican has immediate family as US citizens?

Let me say this as clearly as possible: the average Mexican does not has a spouse, parent, sibling, or child who is an American citizen.

That’s not “wildly misleading”. That’s an objective fact.
