@Rob B. point was an illegal immigrant sidesteps his due process by not immigrating through proper channels.
And your last paragraph is absolutely silly and falling for the fear provided by social media. It is not easier to be an illegal immigrant than a legal one. I have several family members, including my dad, aunts/uncles, and many cousins, who are legal immigrants. I certainly have not talked to all of them, but I am confident they don’t have concerns.
Not one of them side-stepped the process of legally entering the country. Was the process arduous, tedious, and time consuming at times…yes. Should the process be faster and better ….yes.
