Finding a solution to illegal immigration? That's a tough one. Recently in the last two to three years, the U.S. has made matters much worse. Giving and funding Mexico tens and millions of dollars to keep asylum seekers and refugees from entering the United States. By law, these people who are being stripped of their rights, which in fact they are legally entitled to. Being that the U.S. cuts deals with Mexico so that people at the border cannot cross, it has made life hard for those who are trying to cross. A graph is shown by Sonia Nazario representing the exponential growth of fleeing children throughout the last decade.

As for a solution, I believe it lies within the countries/cities in which their civilians are trying to escape from. Most of the immigrants that come to America end up leaving everything behind, their families, life, jobs. Why would anybody want to leave everything they know to come to an unknown place to with little knowledge to no English background and credentials? I think the solution lies within the crime-filled communities, we as a human race should want to help want another right? How about we start by trying to fund charities or help start raising awareness to decrease the crime rate/violence in these cities so that less illegal immigration will suffice. Building a wall is not a means to an end. It just causes more tension within our country and it doesn't help us in any shape or form when illegals find an alternative to cross. This will benefit both, helping the human race and help solve the alarming rate at which migrants are crossing the border.
