Watching today's #WHPressConference. It's pretty obvious to me that journalists don't really understand what is going on at the border. I have worked at a couple of visa windows, so let me break it down for them here.
There are some 8 or nine US consulates throughout Mexico, along with the consular section at the US Embassy in Mexico City. Not all countries have US embassies throughout the world, but every country in Central American and in South America has US embassies and consulates.
If you want to visit the US or if you want to immigrate to the US or if you think you have a legitimate claim to asylum, you go to the embassy or consulate and apply for a visa. Sneaking across the border is not the appropriate way to get a visa. In fact, that would be illegal.
