I think it's safe to assume that the people who risk life and limb to get here illegally, are extremely desperate. In those cases, I don't think convenient or easy factor in.

A lot of illegal immigrants actually come through Mexico (if they can make it through, that is) from further points south. Although there are Mexicans who contend with very desperate conditions.
