The problem is a corrupt, inefficient Mexican government that knows it's far cheaper and easier to send its malcontents to the US rather than bothering to fix its domestic problems.

    Throwing money at the Mexican government won't solve their problems.

    There should be a one-world liberal added into there. A world w/o nations is unlikely to happen anytime soon, but that doesn't mean we cannot say what would be best.

    Sure, that's a great idea. But, iirc the Mexican government limits foreign investment.
