My wife immigrated from so we’ve dealt with the system a bit. This was under trump so it might have changed a bit. There’s a limited amount of people that come in from any given country is capped at a certain number. That’s number is affected by the amount of people immigrating illegally and the people that are trying to get a green card after immigrating illegally puts a lot of stress on the system in terms of resources. So it’s actually much more difficult to process an application if from Mexico than it is for other countries and it’s they are usually backlogged for years. That’s how our lawyer explained it to us anyway.
Just to clarify, the number of immigrant visas allowed for each country is the same. We replaced the racist quotas meant to keep America white with a system that now grants the same number of total visas to China as it does to The Bahamas.
If you're trying to immigrate from a populous country or one with high immigration to the US (like Mexico), it takes a long time to process. Some people have had to wait 25 years.
Illegal immigration does not affect the quota system; the reverse is true. Many illegal immigrants don't come the legal way because they don't want to wait for half a decade to get approval.
Do you have a source for that? Because the cap is on the amount of Visas being given out. A green card aka a work permit is NOT a visa. The cap on Visas changes but it has nothing to do with undocumented immigrants because they're not applying for Visas.

Immigrants can be some of the toughest on other immigrants.
Or it could just be about getting richer 🤷♂️
