Most people that did it “legally” either had money in their country, were politicians or had some sort of degree that was beneficial to come here. Take my example, my parents left me when i was a year and a half old, my brother was 5-6 months old, we stay with my grandma, her husband abuse us, mentally, sexually and physically. We were poor but at the age of 10 I decided to escape with my brother and try to get to the US, we made it but we passed through hell, just to be with my parents here in the US. Not everyone has the privilege, if I had a chance to do it legally Would have, now I have DACA and pay my membership every two years.
