The only way to stop people from coming here is to get them to want to stay where they are. It's not a problem for for people in Central America either because we could do the same thing there or they can partner with Mexico, it's the simple idea of people helping people. Right now our genius idea's are bus people to Canada and Build a ridiculously expensive wall nether addresses the actual problem.
That and many of those Central American countries that keep sending us more immigrants are even poorer than Mexico. The only countries in the Americas with a lower GDP per capita than Mexico (besides America and Canada) are Antigua, The Bahamas, Chile, Panama, Uruguay, and Argentina. Also, if we're not leaving out dependent territories, Puerto Rico, the Caymans, the Falklands, Aruba, the Virgin Islands, and Sint Maarten.
These nations are probably not the sort of places people think of when they think of illegal immigration, except maybe Puerto Rico, and that's not illegal immigration because they've had American citizenship for over a century, so therefore, their moving to the mainland is, by definition not immigration.
