If there’s no real penalty for trying to cross, why wouldn’t they try to leave their current hellhole? Time to make it cost something to try and sneak into the US. How about a 2” tattoo on their forehead with “II” (Illegal Immigrant)? Anyone caught a second time with II on their forehead gets sent to a Joe Arpaio-like tent prison to work on a chain gang fixing roads in the southern US. Helps curb illegal immigration and helps repair a sagging road infrastructure...win/win.
Snip off a toe each time they are caught.
