Hard question --- if the Mexican government provided them health insurance or paid all the health care costs --- and education costs of the children of their citizens working here in this country? And out of all that vast oil wealth paid the housing costs instead of insisting that be done by US taxpayers?
Or if their own employers really valued their labor that much that they were paid a wage and insurance benefits so that they would be no burden on taxpayers at all? Of course if they paid them well enough so they needed no government assistance, Americans would likely do those jobs and illegals wouldn't be hired.
Or in exchange -- a compromise that would ban ALL immigrants --- any kind of foreigner from getting government --- taxpayer provided handouts of any kind? I could see letting in ONLY self-reliant workers if all the welfare moochers would be sent out. That would be over 40% of the legal immigrants from Mexico that we'd have to kiss goodbye if we did that.

I just checked cis.org, actually it is "only" 36% of legal Mexican immigrants, the HS dropout rate is close to 70%, so this is sure to boost that number soon.
