The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) charges exorbitant fees for their services, and the processing time can extend to months or even years in some cases. You can’t make this shit up

In 2008 to get a legal "green card", if you were already in the US on a visa (which often takes years to get), took about 9 months and over $10,000 in "fees" for the forms submitted during the process.
Jumping the border and getting a fake SSN is quicker, cheaper, and you don't get immediately databased.
Sir, now if you jump the border USA will make sure that you will have SSN and benefits! They will also place you to the fancy hotels in the downtown
Now if they can just saddle them with $10k in debt, they'll be wearing similar shackles as the rest of us! 😀
