No one is encouraging people to just 'walk into the country', where are you getting this from? It's illegal, they try to stop it, it's not perfect (never has been). If you cross the border illegaly, chances are you have many years of hard work and uncertainty ahead of you before you can begin to feel a peace. Please don't glorify illegal immigration as if they're all just getting free meal tickets and living happily ever after. It's a very hard decision made after years of suffering, not an easy way out.
