Now that's just an exaggeration; Because by your logic no one would come here legally. We know that's false, because the U.S. gets more legal migrants than any other country on the planet. It also gets more illegal migrants.
I do agree it is difficult to come here legally, and I am all for making it easier to come here legally; But the other part of the equasion is we need to make it harder to come here illegally, and punish those who do rather than reward them.
