No, I don't, my friend. Hopefully, you'll be able to get in legally. If
not, try for a worker's visa or a student visa, come on over and just stay when your visa expires, like a few hundred thousand have already done.  Then, when the politicians get around to declaring amnesty, you can get it and apply for American citizenship.  That seems to be the way many are doing it without relying on the more deadly methods of border crossing...

Re: One day that may be so, afzal, but not for quite some time. America sells

Sadly, teddy poet, this will continue to be a problem until they lock down
the border.  Many do not realize this, but the Roman Empire did not fall simply because of invasions from without.  It also fell from a huge population of immigrants, slaves and extranationals that glutted their system over time, weakening the Roman population from within, destabilizing the infrastructure by having people with no vested interest in Rome gain control (through sheer numbers) of many vital areas of industry and agriculture, even the military...

One day that may be so, afzal, but not for quite some time. America sells
itself as the land of opportunity, but taking advantage of that opportunity illegally is beginning to wear thin.  I have personally met several illegal aliens and would wish none of them personal harm, but they are in this country illegally and unless they change the laws, need to be deported or detained.

When a person climbs into the trunk of a car with one or more others to get
across 'the border' without having gone through the legal red tape, I do tend to raise an eyebrow toward any easement allowed that person.  As in any part of the world, there are very good people and there are those who seek a lighter load and a smoother road in a most blatant and self-serving way.
Amnesty? While we're at it, let's discharge every debt from every law-abiding American citizen, let's feed and clothe the planet without asking one cent for a single food item or stitch of thread...
I am not a bigot; never have been and shall never be. I would ask the trunkjumpers one thing, however:
remember the friggin Alamo.

America is a great country and it truly knows no borders .
If it can rule the whole world why not the people of the world have right to remain on its soil so long as they are not using nuclear power to be there in the country of liberty , equality , and justice .
