The influx of migrants across our southern border is a dilemma that has faced presidential administrations ever since the US acquired Mexican territory. The reason why the US is such a magnet to immigrants is because of plentiful low-paying jobs, access to education and opportunities to rise above whatever station of life a person is born into.
