you cross 5 countries and ask asylum in the US. That's not how it works.

Yea I don't feel sorry for these people and it's stuff like this that tries and throws pitty on the situation but you wouldn't be going threw the hardship in America if you had done it the legal way, I know many people who came here legally they managed to build a life for themselves by working hard, but they did it the legal way, so it is possible but the problem is people want instant results instead of putting in the work and it doesn't work that way, this is going to start an all-out war against the Americans and the migrants if this doesn't get under control 💯
