Most who emigrate to the United States illegally come to this country for economic opportunity. A few make the journey to escape political repression or crime. In many ways, what they do is entirely understandable — though, of course, immigration laws need to be enforced.
Making their own homelands more prosperous, free and safe would do more to curb illegal immigration to ours than any amount of border security here.
