Undocumented border crossings are illegal, regardless of the intent.

Our border situation is a mess. We need more workers in California than we
let in legally, and everyone turns a blind eye to the thousands of farm
workers who work for lower wages than Americans would work for, and allow
Big Ag to sell produce competitively.

People want illegal immigration to stop, people complain about border
states going broke with welfare and human services expenses, but no one
wants to pay $10 for a head of lettuce.

I've heard horror stories about non-citizens applying for public
assistance, but most of the stories I've heard and seen are of people
trying to keep their heads down, keep off the radar and make some money to
send home.
