Immigration, be it “legal” or “illegal”, here in their US or worldwide is a global human problem. Yes laws are to be obeyed, but one person can’t use “the law” to be harsh on others while ignoring laws that may apply to them, know anyone’s who is dishonest in reporting?

It seems that that the military industrial complex historically, Viet Nam, Iraq, etc. has always believed it only needs to spend $$$$ to make regime change. It only has a hammer and all it sees is nails.
