I think you are asking the wrong question.
For over a hundred years, the US has tacitly allowed illegal border crossings, even as politicians condemn it, because politicians know that many US businesses — especially agribusiness — depend on migrants to do the work that native-born Americans won't do.
At the same time, as US citizens benefit from these migrants, the US government also denies these people of rights. And they make it impossible for these people to actually get "right" with the government. Going from undocumented to documented is extremely difficult. The nuances of this process are not well suited for Twitter because social media is limited to 280 characters. Much depends on the specifics of how you became undocumented. But suffice to say, getting a green card is not easy.
Immigrants, particularly of the undocumented kind, are an easy target for blame when it comes to US politics. Any government failure can be hoisted on them because they are not able to speak for themselves, by virtue of having to live in the shadows. Not enough education funding? Blame immigrants. Your industrial policy hollowed out American manufacturing? Blame immigrants. Housing costs are too high because you've made it difficult to build housing? Again, you can always blame immigrants.
For me, the question is not "why didn't this Mexican father get papers within that 40 years?" The question is, "why does the US government treat immigrants so poorly, blame them for everything, and make it impossible for these people to get right with the government, despite how much they contribute to our society in terms of their labor and taxes?"
I have been liberally blocking people in this thread but wanted to reply to you in earnest, as you appear to be based in South Korea and may be asking innocently.

Harrison Ford: “Humanity is a part of nature, not above it. We need cultural change. We need to extend social justice. We need to respect and elevate the indigenous people that are being marginalized, and in many cases, killed in cold blood. The world you’re stepping into, the world my generation left you, is a real mess”

To be so extremely clear, letting poor families and children learn about marine biology is a pure good that helps society as a whole. These people want poor people to suffer merely for being poor

The Monterey Bay Aquarium charges $295 for a family membership or $125 for a single adult. With an EBT card, entry is free — and up to four guests get in free every visit. There is a ZERO incentive for these people to ever get off Food Stamps.
