Hundreds of immigrant families caught illegally crossing the Mexican border told U.S. immigration agents they made the dangerous journey in part because they believed they would be permitted to stay in the United States and collect public benefits, according to internal intelligence files from the Homeland Security Department.

Now where would they get that idea?

Now where would they get that idea? 

Exactly.  That's it in a nutshell.  We need to send a clear message to our neighbors at our borders; NO benefits will be given to those that enter the country illegally.  Those caught will be fingerprinted, records put into a database and will have absolutely NO chance of legal immigration into this country.  That message would significantly change things. Finally building a wall would reinforce that message.  ILLEGALS ARE NOT WELCOME!
