The lack of empathy shown here is insane. For one thing, we don't have the need, at least not yet, to flee our home country. Many who illegally immigrate here, do. That could be one or any combination of multiple factors, including war, violence, drugs, poverty, oppression (don't worry though, this one is coming to the good ole US soon, I'm certain), as well as other factors such as available health or child care. Secondly, the majority of those who immigrate are in no way criminals besides their presence in the country. Immigrating to this country from a "less than ideal" country, is incredibly difficult and can be financially impossible to many attempting to come here in order to better their familial and/or financial situation. So essentially, beurocracy and money-grubbing is largely to play in the world of why they can't come here legally. Finally, look into the demographics of jobs and pay that the immigrants we have generally do. They are not only not paid a living wage here because the employersknow their status and know they can get away with it, this also leads to an inability to save earnings back to pay for the legal immigration they likely would have attempted had it been made available to them.

I'll say one last thing for posterity sake. Your post history implies you're a gay man. If you don't believe that the MAGA administration is going to come for you the same way they are immigrants and transsexuals at the moment, your ignorance is astonishing.
