- I think it's all about the empowerment of women, and education to the children.

From my understanding, they had to pay for their own education. I don't think they can get any financial aid. Furthermore, many of them said if they could they would pay taxes, but they just can't.
The real immigration problem is our corrupt government, who gets paid by the farmers in the south to seat and do nothing.
- As an economist, I see the immigration problem just like any other economical inconvenience. If there is a demand for something, a supply will be created to satisfy the demand. There are illegal immigrants because there are unscrupulous Americans willing to hire cheap and under the table workforce.
There is always going to be extreme poverty somewhere in the world where people will be fighting everyday to survive. Anything is better than the lives they had before, including living illegally someplace else. It's sad but we shouldn't be the ones accommodating all these people. However, we are accommodating them. Not because we are nice, but because we like to have the cheap labor around us. We like to see them putting their heads down when we speak with them. Ask yourself, do you talk to fellow Americans in the same way you talk to an immigrant, especially a Latino one? We enjoy having the power.
The only real way to end the immigration problem is to harshen the punishments to those who hire them. Forget about fines, I'm talking about 15 to 30 years of imprisonment. The immigrant commits the "crime" to become an illegal worker because in many cases it is the only way to survive and it barely understands the extent of its crime. Nevertheless, the citizens who hires them fully understand what it's doing, plus he has many other options than breaking the law.
