Disincentive to Legal Immigration

H1B visas can cost up to $2300 because US Citizenship and Immigration Services salaries run from $23,000 to $136,000, while immigrants can wait years for their citizenship papers to be processed (the employees are unionized):

Human smugglers' (coyotes') fees were down to $300 in 1994 (and are probably lower now): http://dallasfed.org/research/border/tbe_orrenius.html

Is it any wonder most choose the illegal route?
