1. Doesn't cost 5-6k

2. The 3-4k required to pay is provided by their Legal or Illegal family members that they have living here.

Name one country - just one, that has no requirements for lawful permanent residency in their country - just one without a permanent immigration policy

Just as an epilouge I'd like some sources on those "facts" about starving and massecred Mexicans.
US Illegal Immigration Explained - Profits and Poverty, Social Security and Starvation

read part 2.

Michel Chossudovsky, "Global Poverty in the Late 20th Century," Journal of International Affairs, Vol. 52, no. 1 (Fall 1998)

published in an accredited journal (notice the .edu, he's a professor)


YouTube - Poverty Along the Mexico Border

theres some photojournalism to back it up.

10k to "legally" immigrate. back & forth crossing is "illegal" immigration/emigration.
