As sick as it sounds, it's far more effective. Pay each Mexican Cop $10 per head for arrested and detained person attempting to cross their border illegally. Bonuses for exceeding a quota too.

I agree with the payment, but suggest a variation. Pay the Mexican official a set amount annually, say $500,000 (paid by CIA under cover). Let the official know that if we catch more than X number of illegals crossing in his border area, the payment goes down $1,000 per person. I think things would tighten up immediately.
If it doesn’t work, the fall-back plan is to recognize that by Mexican official policy encouraging this invasion, Mexico has declared war on the US. Executing the Mexican presidente and his henchmen like Saddam Hussein would be good start on helping the Mexican people clean up their corruption. (Don’t you think a policy of sending families and small children across the desert, even in the care of a coyote, amounts to a crime against humanity?)
