Do they really? How? Asking for a friend.

Here they explain why immigrants rather chose the illegal path opposed to the legal path during Biden's administration.
Now even before Trump came into office, the stream of illegal immigrants have already almost completely stopped:

So yeah, we can argue about the details, but it is clear that during Biden's administration it was way too easy for illegal immigrants to get into the US, which is unfair for the legal immigrants that went through much more trouble to get there.
Aside from that, the constant flow of illegal immigrants also caused a lot of issues in the states near the borders, and obviously for the country as a whole.
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?
