Luz shares her apartment with her husband, also from Mexico and also undocumented. They met in America. He works in a bar. They have a young daughter who was born in America and is therefore a US citizen.
It’s nice that your family had the money for lawyers and such, and had the background to be accepted.
Plenty of others don’t have those advantages, but they still want to improve their lives, or escape from terrible political or criminal oppression. They are human, too, with families that they love as much as anyone else loves theirs, and they want to improve the lives of their families, and their descendants.
Who cares how they get here? They came seeking a better life. I would rather have more people like that, than elitist pigs who feel entitled to America, and we should all get their permission to live our lives.

No one is entitled to go anywhere they want whenever they want, anywhere on earth. Why would or should the United States be any different? The only people entitled to any country are the citizens of that country.
The reason someone would care about this is because society is maintained by rule of law.
Another reason is that we do not live in a post scarcity utopia, and resources are not unlimited.
I know it’s not the same, but do you support China sending immigrants to Tibet and annexing the country? How about the rest of their neighbors and the South China Sea? What about Russia doing the same in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea?
If national autonomy is something to be respected then border laws and immigration laws have to be as well. If you only agree with those things only for non-wealthy countries like the US and EU members, which I suspect might be the case, I would call that biased and hypocritical.
Ah yes, if one side is violating the rule of law then we can just throw laws out the window and do whatever we want. Always bring yourself down to their level, that’s how you win.
“But the alcoholic neighbor’s kids down the street are allowed to smoke and skip middle school, so why can’t I mom?”.
I find it really interesting how poor people committing minor crimes is so often talked about in terms of the rule of law while rich people are committing felonies in broad daylight and the government is violating the Constitution on the daily. But sure, persons unauthorized to be here are here, I don’t mind that ICE is detaining legal immigrants and citizens in violent raids. It’s the people overstaying their visas and jumping the border that I’m more concerned about.
Dude, why are you defending the people who have explicitly stated that they hate you, and don’t care if you die?
You are so immersed in in your own bigotry, that you haven’t figured out that America no longer has “the rule of law” any more. You are an immigrant, therefore you are OFFICIALLY an enemy of the government. There is no legal or illegal, documented or undocumented.
Trump’s immigration architect, Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, has said that he wants to reduce the population of America to 100 million, and he wants them all to look like him (God forbid). That means he intends to get rid of a lot of people one way another, and that includes ANYONE from anywhere else.
It can’t be stressed enough how much these people HATE you. When this all melts down, you will be LUCKY if all that happens to you is you get sent back to your home country.

This country doesn’t give two shits about the rule of law anymore, look at our president

Then I guarantee your family didn’t struggle much at all to emigrate to the states legally.
Really doesn’t sound like your family struggled as much as these people do
