U.S. Attorney General Geff Sessions ordered federal prosecutors on the southwest border to adopt a "zero tolerance" for anybody who has tried or is trying to enter this country illegally. Geff Sessions said "To those who wish to challenge the Trump Administration’s commitment to public safety, national security, and the rule of law, I warn you: illegally entering this country will not be rewarded, but will instead be met with the full prosecutorial powers of the Department of Justice to the Department’s prosecutors, I urge you: promoting and enforcing the rule of law is vital to protecting a nation, its borders, and its citizens". The reason that Sessions gives for his comments is that he wants to minimize the "illegality" of the immigration system. In other words he wants people to come to the United States the legal way but little does he know that the legal way does not exactly work out the way everybody thinks it does.
It is sad that so many people think coming to this country by obtaining a travel visa or any other form of "legal" paperwork should be the first option but what they do not know is that it takes a lot of money to do so. I personally have witnessed somebody try to obtain a visa and have helped fund the process; it is not cheap. We paid around $300 just for the application and the meeting, $100 to get a passport (Mexican of course), $200-400 for travel (you have to travel to an embassy for the interview). All of that money just to get turned down. People do not see that side of it, if you do not have somebody in the United States helping you pay for it there is no way you could fund it unless you come from a well off family.
