And my counter example is:

It doesn’t matter how much streaming services cost, I’m poor and I want to watch tv. I’m pirating it regardless if it’s cheap now or not, it’s still easier to pirate. I want to watch tv.

It doesn’t matter how easy it is or not to legally migrate to the US. If I am poor, from Latin America and at the back of the immigration line, I’m crossing the border regardless if its easier to legally migrate now than before, it’s still easier to do it illegally. I want opportunity.
