Muchas de las personas más caritativas en EE.UU. piensan que están ayudando a los pobres de América Latina al dejar abierta nuestra frontera del suroeste entre los puertos de entrada, pero no lo hacen. Muchas de las organizaciones criminales transnacionales (cárteles) que operan en Centroamérica y México se estima obtienen un tercio o más de sus ganancias de la inmigración ilegal.
