Sorry I really don't like YouTube for political content. Any text summaries of how they get citizenship quickly after crossing illegally?

> it was way too easy for illegal immigrants to get into the US

That's moving the goalposts. You said citizenship, not just getting in.

> which is unfair for the legal immigrants that went through much more trouble

And even more trouble now. So even more unfair...

Sorry, I looked for it but it seems it's not easy to find mainstream newspaper articles about this. It seems this topic is heavily being censored. Which is interesting in it's own right. But it does also mean that I can't deliver all this information on a golden plate for you, and you'll have to do a little bit of research and analyzing and personal thinking, instead of just reading the headlines that the media is feeding you.

Watch the video, it really gives you might insight into the complexity of the situation, or at least how it was.

And how else would you explain that first the borders were constantly flooded with illegal immigrants, and now not anymore? Something must have changed that has made the illegal path less interesting than the legal one.

It could just be the news coverage. Maybe they wanted people scared before the election. Do you have sources with actual numbers? What is the percentage decrease?

> It seems this topic is heavily being censored

Then how are the illegal migrants "easily" getting citizenship finding out about it?

Well isn't this obvious enough:

They hear it from each other. They know, it's a whole business, with coach busses taking immigrants to the border where they continue a common path take daily by many people. It's all in that video.
