I'm sorry, but I honestly can't blame these people for wanting to come here. They have pretty much no options for a better life. Its come to America or be involved in a Cartel or a govt employee where they get shot by the Cartels..

The issues will illegal immigration has always been a economic issue with South America.. until that is solved they will find a way to get here no matter how many walls are built or boarder officers are hired..

All those cheap manufacturing jobs we send to China should have always been going to South America.. We could have propped up the economies and given these people a reason to stay in their own countries.

The truth however is many businesses here in the US want that cheap labor these illegals provide.
