IT IS TEMPTING BUT DO NOT DO IT!
Thousands of people from all over the world are going to the USA southern border and just walking (or swimming) in. Sounds easy and tempting, right?!
Don't try it, please! It is dangerous in every way imaginable.
Those facilitating smuggling you have no regard for the welfare of those trying to enter.
Unknown numbers of people die of hunger, disease, infections, murders, r**e, accidents, freezing/sun-stroke/exposure, thirst, extortion, suffocation, drowning, theft, and anything else you can imagine.
In the long run, it is far more expensive in so many ways. The complications are so numerous one cannot cite them all here.
Consider what you will do once you cross the border. You are essentially homeless and penniless; possess no skills; are competing with folks just like you for few if any jobs; subject to the mercy of unscrupulous characters lacking any concern for you; and are in an alien environment that you do not understand.
Use your head. Stay where you are. Contact our or someone's office and develop a legal and safe plan. We have done that for thousands since 1974. It will not be instant gratification but you will actually live to realize and enjoy your goal with some patience just like millions before you have.

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,
"God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart the
place where love resides."

John Minnella Arrives in New York City, July 25, 1902!
On this day, July 25, 1902, my paternal grandfather, John Minnella (originally "Giovanni"), just 25 and native of Misilmeri, Palermo Province, Sicily, arrived in New York City Harbor aboard the "Calabria" ship from Palermo, Sicily (ITALY) via Naples having left Naples on July 9.
Grandpa never went back. Neither did his wife, Grandma Angela IGNIZIO (also a native of Palermo. They quickly became USA citizens, opened a small market beneath a 2 story apartment building they purchased at 23 Fair Street in Hackensack, New Jersey, and raised 8 children (another died in infancy I believe) who have developed into a huge and ever growing and evolving clan of Minnellas, Billecis, Violas, Sansones, LoPiccolos, Lidestris, Nelsons, Murtas, Deleos, Paicers, Foleys, Purdoms, etc. too numerous and complicated to list here.
Who would have thought or dreamed that that 1902 act of courage and optimism would bring us here but here we are. Grandpa and Grandma would passed on and be buried in New Jersey but they would live to see all of their 8 children marry and have children. They oldest, Tom, would become a medical doctor and serve as a medical doctor in the US Navy as a Lt. Commander in the Pacific during World War 2 despite being a native of an enemy state (Italy). All spoke the Sicilian dialect of what is called "Italian", and all were patriotic Americans without any regrets about leaving the "Old World" for the New one.
So, a few words of "thanks" to Grandpa for making that long and fateful journey and arriving 120 years ago and giving us all inspiration and pride.
