starvation. lack of jobs in a corrupt Mexican society. wanting a higher standard of living. not wanting to use a hole in the ground for a toilet. wanting a free education for their children- which is not a given in Mexico. access to medical care. all the things you want in your life. I don't know what the answer is- I live in texas which is basically an extension of mexico- our social services: hospitals and schools- are over run with illegal immigrants- but until the problems are fixed in mexico and the usa stops exploiting the poor as 'cheap labor', they will continue to come.

I believe the main reason some of them come here that way is because sadly the government has failed them. Mexico has a lot of corruption and also sadly discrimination. A poorest are left to fend for themselves while a rich get richer. You must understand that generally they are here to work hard. They may be breaking man law by coming here, has they say illegally. In Gods eyes they're people with humble roots that are here to provide for their family. Contray to what people said they help the US. And more important than money they're rich in valves.
