In the United States, there is an undeniable fact that many Latin immigrants came from Mexico, both legal and illegal settlers. The same goes with Mexico; some Americans settled in their Land, both legally and illegally. But as the years went by, people wanted to do it the right way as the law progressed and the leaders changed, making it harder for the people to do fraudulent things.
