Aliens pay an average of $8,000 to be smuggled in
Smuggling cartels are making at least $500 million a year bringing migrants into the U.S., Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told Congress on Tuesday, outlining the scope of the problem for lawmakers as illegal border crossings continue to surge.
Ms. Nielsen took a firm stand on the causes of the surge, saying economies in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala are growing and homicide rates are falling, suggesting the push factors back home should be easing. Instead, she said, the booming U.S. economy and lax American laws are enticing the flow northward.

It continues because the deterrent doesn't meet the crime.
It's a shame the migrants don't come in with bundles of dollars to pay for the medical bills for all the anchor babies they have.
If they can save up that much money, why do they need to come here? They say there are no jobs or money or opportunities in Mexico and all the other countries they come from. They have jobs, they just want to come here and get work for the men and welfare for their women. Do any of them that come here look like they are starving? NO, they don't. It's all lies. Get out of OUR country, scum bags.
