Professor Silva teaches Hispanic Street Law here at BYU. The class is a real eye opener. For example, check out this cartoon flowchart on immigration law. It addresses the question why immigrants don't come the legal way (hint: it takes 20 years). Many immigrants come legally but stay longer than their visas permit. This is technically the correct way to cross the border. And "technically correct" is the best kind of correct-- the law makes a huge distinction regarding this technicality.
