Those Mexicans are the lucky ones; many more were killed before getting the corner, or died trapped in closed containers. It's off topic, but I had to mention it.

Those who decided to try to stick it out in Mexico are also much luckier than those who didn't make it to the street corner. As are those who were caught trying to sneak in and were sent back.
If the street corner guys are not legally in the US, then there is no way to give them $400. If they gain citizenship, then they can get in the government handout line.
If they want to work hard for their money, save and scrimp, and devote their lives to bettering themselves and future generations of their families, then they can live the american dream.

Yeah, you're right in some points. First of all, Mexico should be responsible for creating better conditions for these people here in their country. But it hasn't happened and these people prefer to take the risk, because many of them -and their families- are starving.
About the 400's, when these illegals get a corner - a niche in your economy-, you hire them, pay them low and save money. But these people still earn way more than here. Some of them can get the legal residence, which is better yet. Even some of the illegals have some rights from the US government for their children, which is good.
But they are the lucky ones. The few.
(Hope we don't be spoiling the reeds thread.)
