Unfortunately, as Lou Dobbs and others of his ilk are wanton to say, the problems of illegal immigration are directed almost always at the people themselves....primarily illegal Mexican and Central Americans within the US. They are not the source, nor the ongoing cause of the problem. Building a wall and mass deportations are only a temporary and expensive fix, and not a viable, lasting solution.
The real problems are the various Free Trade agreements that have only seemed to fatten the bottom line of multinational companies and have served to offshore First World jobs to distance areas overseas and gut Third World economies even more. Here are a few more source problems that building a wall nor mass deportations will fix:
-vast currency imbalances
-governmental corruption, particularly within the Mexican government
-diminishing Union powers
-acceptance of the American people as a whole to allow migrant workers to work below minimum wage
-US politicians delaying and holding off effective immigration law and enforcement in order to obtain the hispanic vote
-Multinational companies advertising, encouraging, and recruiting undocumented workers to work within the US
-Willingness of various US and State governmental divisions to continue to spend billions to house, feed, and care for non-citizens.
-NAFTA and other Trade agreements
-low paying and often harsh working conditions in Mexico(some Zenith televisions are assembled in Mexico, where the top performing worker will make $30 a day...average is around $22 a day. And this is without US work laws so the work environment is much harsher than anywhere in the US. Why work there when you can cut lawns here in the US for more in a day?)
