Let's not pretend that the border patrol (including the wall where it makes sense) is not part of illegal immigration the solution. Any country should be able to control who enters its borders.
As for cartels, drug legalization in US will go long way. Investments into Mexico economy is another path. Cartels, are not ideological enemies like jihadists/terrorists. Give them opportunities to earn money safely and more profitable in legal ways and they will disappear.
I absolutely agree that we need to have fences to control immigration.
I also agree that investing on Mexico is a great idea and I hope it grows.
EDIT: Well that's fucking wierd, there was a whole chunk of comment that I had written but then deleted and my Voyager app decided to partially undelete. Never seen that one but my phone has been acting very sus today. Apologies for the confusion.
We can only hold the problem back as long as Mexico isn't vigilant enough on them. If I was president, I wouldn't invade Mexico but I'd definitely be suing them (and then maybe use the money to pay off national debt; what Mexico has been doing surely makes them indebted/owe us, right? Right?)
Full scale invasion and death penalty
