It is one time. You either show up on this one or you will be rejected by the employers because employer sanctions will be in place. Your choice then is to return to wherever you came from. or to become legalized through the legal immigration system. and you are very adept as you describe at the legal immigration system. I think the Senator from Texas would be very interested as he talks about that backlog in Mexico. That is a very fascinating thing because there is a large number in the backlog from Mexico7 years. 6 years. But the average in other countries is 2 years. But you have to go to the consul in Mexico to see what happens when their number comes up. When your number comes up and you have had this long delay. they come down from the United States to pick up their number because almost 85 percent of the people who come up under the legal immigration number system are in the United States. They come down to pick up their green card. their legal documents. That is the most fascinating statistic85 percent are already here. When their number is called. they go back to get it and come back up into the United States.
