It would seem to me that the most compassionate action would be to help improve the conditions IN MEXICO. And, from a Christian standpoint, we are tasked with helping people ourselves, not getting the government to do it.

But, gasp, that would require people to actually "put themselves out" in a significant manner. Now, they can preach and preen for the cameras as opposed to making any real sacrifices.
I call them CINOs, Christians in name only.
I do exactly that. My husband and I have gone on short term mission trips to Equador to help those poor people. They are so very sweet and loving but are totally lacking in any decent government and quite at the mercy of leaders who exploit them.
