Poverty And Violence Fuels Illegal Immigration

     As long as people cannot live normal lives in the countries of their birth, they will uproot themselves and seek a better place. Grinding poverty and lack of opportunity drives people to go where they can support themselves and their families. This is what has driven much of the immigration to the United States.
     Out of control gangs and criminal organizations, corrupt governments, oligarchs, wars, tyrants, stifling religious theocracies, violence and corruption, all contribute to the flight of people from their homelands. Desperate people will seek better places, no matter the barriers in place.
     Economic opportunity and jobs that provide living wages in stable environments free from violence and oppression is the only to stop illegal immigration. Only then will people want to remain in their own countries.
