Why do these illegal immigrants on the US-Mexico border do this? Will they be able to live a good life in America? It's terrible.

Trump's "zero tolerance" policy towards illegal immigrants has led to the separation of many families. Why do these illegal immigrants know the consequences and try to cross the border into the United States?

Because the way of legal entry has been narrowed too narrow, the United States is the only way for those who have no good education and long for a better life to change their destiny. Trump's crackdown on the illegal "zero tolerance" policy is indeed very effective. The special measure of "separation of flesh and blood" adopted due to legal loopholes has really shocked many illegal immigrants who want to bring their children into the country, making them have to stay on the Mexican side of the US-Mexico border. They are often registered as refugees by the Mexican side. Because they are bound by the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the Mexican side cannot expel them. Helpless, they make a living by doing some black work.

The concentration of poverty can easily breed crime. The border area between the United States and Mexico is not only a distribution center for illegal immigrants, but also an important drug transportation channel. These vulnerable refugees naturally become targets of gangs. They draw fresh strength from illegal immigrants to expand their influence, but they should also fish them, collect some revenge fees, or hold them hostage to engage in organized criminal activities such as drug trafficking. These gangs, which straddle both sides of the US and Mexico, have a huge scale and far-reaching influence, causing great harm to American society. The most famous one is "M 13" that Trump often said. The main reason for Trump to build the wall and mobilize the National Guard to guard the border is to oppose them.

These illegal immigrants are afraid to go to the United States, and there are threats from gangs in the border areas. Why don't they go back to their own country? The reason is that the economic and social environment of their home countries in central North America, the Caribbean and parts of South America may not be as good as the US-Mexico border. Not only the economic conditions are poor, but also corruption is rampant, and gangs and crimes are no less than the US-Mexico border. In the past two years, Venezuela has experienced economic crisis, severe inflation and lack of food and daily necessities. A humanitarian crisis once broke out, and hundreds of thousands of refugees were integrated into neighboring countries and regions such as Colombia, Brazil and Guyana. A considerable number of refugees went north to the US-Mexico border through the Isthmus of China and the United States, trying to enter the United States.

As long as people can get by, they won't risk leaving their hometown unless they can't live any longer and are forced to leave. This is what most people think. But it is undeniable that some people try their best to realize the American dream. After all, everyone yearns for a better life. In the United States, a black worker's income in one day may be his hometown's income in one month. This temptation is not irresistible to everyone.
