Because our lawmakers refuse to commit the resources necessary to make the established processes reasonable to navigate in any sort of secure and timely way.
Why do so many US employers knowingly employ the undocumented? First day on any job is filling out your W2, where there is that long list of possible documentation you need to provide to show your status........employers who hire the undocumented know EXACTLY what they are doing and why, and no one goes after them, I'm guessing because we wouldn't want to hurt a business........
It's all wink and nod. Employee produces papers that are false, employer takes out FICA taxes. Or the employer just pays cash...no paperwork. I suspect if the Ag folks were to be honest, they would admit that they wish those who make a lot of noise over undocumented immigration would just shut up. It's interfering with the way they conduct business.
Look into it. It takes years and a lot of paperwork. If you are fleeing criminal activity which many of them are, you really don't have time to work through it. And yes, our immigration laws need a complete reorganization.
Looking into it, I find a conclusion that fit the times: If you don't get caught it's okay. True for the one here illegally, true for the one employing them.
Why didn't the undocumented/illegal immigrants follow the established process to be legal?

So Congress doesn't view the process and timeframe unreasonable? What is unreasonable about the current process?
