Well here in California, there is a Mexican Consulate office that assists Mexican nationals to apply for immigrant work visas. This helps to ease the burden from U.S. DHS. They still need American SS#s for many legitimate jobs, which is why they go through the trouble.
Funny thing though, many of the illegals are Hmong, who are non-citizens but will never be deported, due to their fighting Communists during the Vietnam war. They are generally less willing to get immigrant visas and far less trusting of government. They just try to make do on their own.
I used to work for a U.S. Senator, and I'd say half of our constituent cases were immigrant cases. I remember seeing the same people downstairs waiting in line day after day at the INS office. Our cases were people who got ripped off by "immigration attorneys". We used to write directly to State on thier behalf and some times, somehow, they became citizens after that.
