Came over legally, working hard and "taking the time to do it right", undocumented Immigrants are trying to short cut the system.
That if you aren't doing it the same way they, dad, or grand dad did, you're basically a lesser criminal who is disrespecting and cheating them.
Even though most of them or their parents came over under the Braceros program or under working visas that were much easier to get, or received amnesty under various 1980's and 1990's programs.
These "criminals" include undocumented spouses with US citizen children, people overstaying visas for medical or economic reasons, the flood of asylum seekers...
According to many Hispanic citizens, immigrants need to go back to the "shithole" they came from and if they want to work in the US, they need to wait the 3 to 7 years to "do it the right way" and become citizens .
Oh, and DOGE found over 2 million undocumented people with Social Security accounts...
