Even during the ongoing Coronavirus epidemic, large numbers of Indians have entered the United States from through border of Mexico and Canada.
To cross the border of Mexico and Canada is very difficult as one has to run for many kilometers, cross rivers, jump high walls, constantly hide in the fields during dark of night. As soon as you enter the United States, you are arrested by the American Border Department or American police, the main reason being it is to file a case. The police or the Border Department that arrests people illegally crossing border and sends them into jail and files a case. After filing the case, the man is released on bail, after which he begins his career in United States.

Currently number of cases filed in the non-immigrant case is so huge that the cases of illegal immigrants who have been living in the United States before 20 years have not yet started, resulting in such people being given free passage to stay in the United States. The US government agrees to allow a person to remain in the United States if the person is not involved in any crime in US States and is doing well in paying taxes before the case goes under trial.
Although it takes 20 to 25 or 30 years longer to cope with all these processes but by then the person earns as much as he needs for his happy life
