I am all for non physical 'walls' and borders and immigration laws. My daughter's dad was Welsh and we went through the process. It is long and tedious and takes a little bit of money or connections with those who have money, unless you have some high demand skill.
I understand people do not starve gracefully and if they are impoverished they are all but sure to be rejected the 'legal' way, or to otherwise not have the time to wait for the process to approve them, so they do what they can for their families the illegal way. I do not demonize them at all. I feel the laws should be followed. I also feel that there should be a statute of limitations, after which, if someone has remained in the country 'illegally' should have the option to be deported OR to legally apply based on current years of residence with no criminal history, remaining on a 'standby' status until the completion of the process and decision.
That is my opinion.
