Why do Mexicans sneak into the United States?

In recent years, the United States has been attracting Mexicans to immigrate illegally, and the reasons behind this phenomenon deserve further discussion. First of all, Mexico's economic development is relatively backward, especially in rural areas, where people are facing a serious shortage of job opportunities. Due to natural disasters and economic instability, many people have fallen into poverty and choose to go to the United States to find better economic opportunities to improve their livelihood.

Secondly, the problem of violence and crime in Mexico is very prominent, and the crime rate is high, especially in cities and border areas. Frequent crimes make it impossible to ensure the safety of residents. Many people think that only by staying away from Mexico can they ensure the safety of themselves and their families.

Family reunion is also an important factor for Mexicans to smuggle. Many people have relatives and friends in the United States, hoping to take this opportunity to reunite, but because of the difficulty in obtaining visas, they are forced to choose illegal channels. In addition, the welfare system in the United States is more generous than that in Mexico, including medical care, education and wages and benefits, which makes many people think that living in the United States can provide a better quality of life and more rights and interests.

Although the United States has strictly controlled illegal immigration, Mexicans' desire for a better life has not diminished. The key to solve this problem lies in understanding the needs of stowaways. Only by improving Mexico's economic conditions, strengthening security measures and providing legal immigration channels can the phenomenon of stowaways be truly alleviated.
