18. The process is broken.

Marriage doesn't automatically put you into the process for legalization. Often you have to leave the country before the process can start and then for people from Mexico, it can take up to 10 years to be allowed to come back in. President Obama's orders to ICE told them not to target people who had not been in problems with the law, and basically offered a probation like check in system for undocumented people while they figured out what to do. Trump's new orders blew that up and opened everything to the discretion of ICE. They are going for the low hanging fruit to get the numbers up to show they are doing something. People coming in for their check in are the easiest.
