A big problem, from what I can tell, is that there’s a massive backlog of asylum cases and the asylum seekers are allowed to remain in the country until they’re tried. The estimated wait time at this point is 6 years. Meanwhile, the various legal processes for permanent residence are years long and they have a million strings attached. Some of the legal routes don’t even allow you to be in the country until you’re approved. That’s one of the reasons Hispanic voters turned out for Trump - they felt as though people taking this backdoor route were cheating the system and giving them a bad name.
I can understand a grace period for people who have already been here for some time, but we’ve already given incredible amnesty. How many more times will we push out the deadline, as it were?
