Why don't they do something to improve conditions in their country instead instead of acknowledging how screwed up it is and sending people off to risk their lives to commit a crime when they clearly know they are doing both?
There are good reasons that Mexico doesn't discourage illegal immigration: 16 billion good reasons. After oil production, foreign wages are Mexico's second largest source of income. With the situation as such, it would almost behoove the Mexican government to waste more of the country's money on corruption and failed governmental programs. More citizens would immigrate north and send even more money back.

Wrongful Death Suit in the Making
Says a lot about their perceptions of their own country that they do that. It's called illegal immigration for a reason. Why don't they do something to improve conditions in their country instead instead of acknowledging how screwed up it is and sending people off to risk their lives to commit a crime when they clearly know they are doing both? As much as I hate lawyers and the litigous attitudes in this country I think it would be poetic justice if someone sued the organizations involved with making the maps for wrongful death if some of these people die--which they inevitably will. Funny how some of these groups gripe about how screwed up this country is, yet it's the number one choice for illegal immigrants....why? Before someone tries to flame me as anti-immigrant, I have a sister in law that immigrated, and obviously my ancesters immigrated here at some point (legally, by the way).
Some people use cheap labor as a reason why the government turns a blind eye to this issue. It shouldn't. If cheap labor is really needed, give out more visas or something. This would put the issue out in the open, the people involved would be here without fear, receive proper protection under law, and the issue would be clarified. I believe Albert Einstein said "Nothing brings greater contempt of the government than unenforceable laws"...or failure to equally apply laws.
