I agree we do need to start leaning on the countries illegals are fleeing from and I don’t mean leaning on them with barrels of cash.

. . . when the farm workers strike and their strike is successful, the employers go to Mexico and have unlimited, unrestricted use of illegal alien strikebreakers to break the strike. And, for over 30 years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has looked the other way and assisted in the strikebreaking. I do not remember one single instance in 30 years where the Immigration Service has removed strikebreakers. . . .The employers use professional smugglers to recruit and transport human contraband across the Mexican border for the specific act of strikebreaking.

Frankly, I would have done a Marshall Plan for Mexico and Latin America. Spending billions there in those nations for medical care, education, housing, and building up their local and national economies would have made much more sense. Now with the illegals flooding into this country we have to spend the money here to support them plus they compete with Americans for jobs which makes for a tough employment market and dwindling economic opportunities for everyone. Oh, what do I know? Those folks in Washington know way better than me, lol...
