The father of my kids is an immigrant from a third world country. It took more than a decade for the government to process his papers. His father worked here at a labor job and sent all he could home so his family could eat. He was 12 before he was allowed to come here and meet his father for the first time. And they were lucky, some of his cousins have had to wait close to 18 years.
And crossing the Mexican border is not easy. Some of these people travel for weeks by train just to get to the border. And I'm not talking a comfy ride. They must jump on to a moving train and hold on for dear life. Those unlucky enough to fall asleep after a few days are killed as they fall under the wheels. Others lose limbs. And after all that there is the possibility of dying in the desert or drowning while crossing the river. Let's not forget the human traffickers, paid by parents thinking their daughters will have a future in the U.S but in reality handing them over to rapists. And those are just some of the horror stories.
