| Yes, US law limits the number of visas awarded, there are quotas or allotments assigned based on discretionary determinations the US govenment is entitled to make concerning the people allowed in. However, the visa allocations are irrelevant as the Mexicans who migrate to the US don't fit the typical profiles these visas are designed to fit; they usually are not migrating, at least not permanently. What is needed is a new sort of "visa", one that applies to the people of a neighboring country who are only termporarily travelling to the US, though not as tourists. |
