Allowed in? Contrary to FOX "news" talking points, there was never an untenable wave of immigrants flooding through the border. This is confirmed by the actual data and by the folks who drove down there to help stop this crush of people, only to disappointingly find that they were not there.
If you're asking why they want to come here, imaging living in not good conditions with no prospects of improvement for you or your children.
At the same time you happen to live in some proximity to a border with a country that is prosperous and offers the opportunity to give your children a better life and future. Coincidentally, this neighboring country has held the idea of accepting immigrants as one of its fundamental building blocks.
Your country of birth offers no incentives to working harder while neighboring country claims that hard work will bring a better life.
What would you do?
People say "we'll just do it the right way.", but there's barriers to doing it "the right way." You look at your kids and you desperately want to be able to provide them with so much more.
Also, you can earn on average 4 times more money in the neighboring country yet for doing the same work you're already doing.
And I'm sure that's just one example.

I'm glad you said it. Ever notice that the people who swear that they will give the shirt off their backs or that they will die for their family get upset when people from other places act these virtues out? The right way is inaccessible. Even people that did it the right way are going to have their documentation attacked because he is signing more executive orders to do just that. Undocumented immigrants aren't the Boogeyman. The people who are misinformed about them are.
