I know getting citizenship papers isn't something that happens in a few weeks or months. But when they apply to come here, are still in Mexico, it can take several years or more. And this is what makes them so desperate and willing to pay con men Coyotes. And to cross the desert, perhaps die to get here. When people are putting their lives on the line Elle, you know they are very very desperate. It's men and women both.
I remember reading some years ago that when caught and deported they slip right back across the border. It's like trying to stop illegal drugs from crossing our borders. This is why I can't see how Trump thinks he can stop them. They even have tunnels under the ground to sneak in under the fence. I don't know what the answer is.
