You are correct Roy, the immigration problem has two faces.

1. It is made in the U.S.A., by our corporations who use the resources of Central and South America as profit centers and sources, using our influence to overthrow governments and install friendly dictatorships, until they are not It started with the Banana Wars and the latest is Venezuela. Cuba is a prime example Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Chile Peru..
Our government is simply a tool to be used by the real powers.
2. The other face is culture. The cultures of these countries, the basis of which is patriarchalism, submission and dominance, to church first, then to state. Superstition replacing reason.
The purpose of ideology, and religion is an ideology, a secular ideology, is to inculcate and maintain a subservient, slave, mentality.
Bother you not about being rewarded here and now, be obedient and worshipful and your reward comes in the hereafter.
This is the leitmotif of Christianity and Islam. Especially the Catholic Church, protestantism, especially Calvinism has turned that on it's head, with the idea of predestination and the prosperity gospel.
The governing ethos of Central and South America: Catholicism.
Had employer sanctions been enforced, we would have had no immigration problem
I also think that the same people who send them to the border are the same who blame it on Democrats. How do impoverished immigrants get the fare to get to the border? While they induce Cuban and Venezuelan dissidents to vote with their feet, Reoublicans demonize then when they make it.
That is what I say about the Venezuelans, who claim to have traveled through Colombia, through the Darien Gap, up the Pan American Hiway and show up at the border, freshlyscrubbed,their boys carrying soccer balls and daughters dolls.
I lived in Panama, with Panamanians, and no Panamanian would go near the Darien Gap, hostile tribes, bandits, poison snakes, peccaries, jaquars. And once through you have to make your way to over the bridge of the Americas, travel through Panama City, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico
one hell of a long and expensive journey, not to mention dangerous, and yet they arrive at the Texas Mexico border fresh scrubbed with toys.
More likely they spent $4 or $5,000 board a plane in Caracas, and disembark in Mexico.
Unless they rely on Taxi's, Buses and trains, and they cost, maybe there is a taxi stand on the north side of the Darien Gap.
About the Gap, no Panamanian in their right mind would venture into the gap.

Toss in global climate change
Just some thoughts.
