 I have never heard anyone rant as hard against illegal immigration as my friend who is a legal Mexican immigrant

 Imagine there's people standing in long ass lines (several years on average to get a permanent residency), gambling years of their life and family future in a highly bureacratic and unpredictable process. And then someone cuts the line...

The legal immigration system is royally fucked up and has zero vision or aim. I suspect that its main point is to channel migrants towards the illegal crossings, money for cartels and cheap slave-like labor inside.

Overseeing it being dismantled would be my dream job. I've seen so many lifes harmed by that system ☠️

 Luckily it was created by humans and thus it can be fixed by humans
