But if you have been here for 20 years and still not sorted out immigration, something is wrong
This seems to be a disconnect in a lot of people's minds. (i.e. they should all come here legally). NEWS FLASH - there is no legal option for most of these people. Unless you have a spouse or child in this country who can file an immigration petition these people have no options.

When you break it down, there ain’t even that many Americans in this room, contributing Americans. Check this out. If you a veteran, if you fought in any war for the United States, you are American. God bless all the veterans. Big up to the veterans. I can’t say nothing wrong about the veterans. OK? You American. Now if you swam here from some shitty country that didn’t allow you Bubblicious, you too are American cos you overcame obstacles and made sacrifices to actually get here. You are a true American, OK? You really are. Don’t let nobody tell you no different. Everybody else, you’re just lucky. You’re just lucky. All you crazy white people, “I’m American!” All you did was come out of your mother’s pussy on American soil. That’s it. You think you’re better than somebody from France cos you came out of a pussy in Detroit?"

The reason why the wife of the Marine was deported is because she lied to immigration officers when she first tried to enter the country stating she was a citizen when she was not. She was caught and barred from entering the country. She then entered the same way lying to immigration that she was a citizen, but the second time she was successful. She was most likely caught because she was driving in Florida without a drivers license since undocumented people can't get drivers licences. If she hadn't been caught the first time she had a very good chance of getting a green card when she married her husband, the Marine. So she would have had a legal option.
