The key would be to provide economic opportunity in Mexico for these people. I'm sure if they were given the choice they would choose to to stay at home with their friends and families. But opportunities are limited and these are people who are just trying to improve their lot in life. They are not bad people.
On that note; anyone looking to help can lend money in the form of a micro business loan through this organization:

You can even search by location and find someone in Mexico if you are so inclined.
P.S. All the hype about illegal immigrants is to divert your attention from the things you really should be worried about.

Stop believing that the US is the best place to be. And also, remember that the US has not always been populated by 'white anglos', about 40% of the continental US was a part of Mexico about 150 yrs ago; thus, a lot of 'mexican' people in the US were there before many anglos. Migration/inmigration is a big problem around the world. It is not helped by prejudice or bigotry but by understanding and a will to help others. Also, many complain about 'illegals' but take advantage of them, their countries, their lives!

Wait for God to make the world a better place without prejudice and everyone can live together in peace. You know, sometimes i wonder why people get so upset with the Mexicans. Some of them have very poor living conditions and coming here is a life or death decision. They risk their lives just crossing the border. Its a lot harder than you think.
And no i am not mexican, i am white, but still appreciate that no matter the skin color or country born in, we are all the same.

Beside heavy fines on the people that hire them you put military troops securing the boarders and you treat these people you catch barely humane. You also start deporting and doing more raids at places they frequent. When they start losing money they work hard for they will start staying on thier side of the rio.

Stop hiring them. They're here for jobs. If nobody hires illegals, they wouldn't have a reason to come.
