If you start mass deportations of illegals combined with enforced, effective policies such as no work, no housing, no healthcare, no nothing then there is very little incentive to come here illegally. That in turn makes the border much more manageable as there won’t be nearly as many trying to illegally enter. This isn’t rocket science. It’s a core function of our federal government to secure our border.
No it doesn't. The places they live have nothing to offer in terms of opportunity. In some cases they are riddled with violence. Getting deported just re-starts the cycle. It may take time, but circumstances will always encourage them to try and make it back. It's raw capitalism at a basic level.
On top of that, several crucial industries will always have an interest in cheap "unskilled" labor. They aren't supposed to be employed here as is. Why would anything change that? Construction, farming, even manufacturing eat up this kind of resource. Their illegal status only gives employers leverage that they will never have over American citizens. Cheap labor, no legal rights, more profits. It's not going to stop. Ever.
