Some say Donald Trump's vow to build a wall is prompting the surge. With Mr. Trump's success in the Republican primaries, those considering migrating from Mexico or Central America may feel that it's now or never."<br /><br />It doesn't helt that Mexico is a petro-state in serious decline with low oil prices and output leading to a free fall in the value of the peso (hovering around 18 pesos to the dollar). It has gotten so bad, that Mexico has denationalized the oil business and invited foreign oil investment back after living off oil revenues largely built by U.S. companies since President Lazaro Cardenas kicked them out in 1938.<br /><br />This has led to things becoming increasingly dire in Texas, especially as unaccompanied minors, and Cubans (who basically become U.S. citizens once arriving on U.S. soil), are poring into the state, and now Harry Reid and Zoe Lofgren are sponsoring bills to have U.S. taxpayers pay for lawyers for all these undocumented children.<br /><br />So, I can definitely see why Trump is resonating with so many these days when the likes of Reid and Hillary are determined to sell them out for the sake of millions more future democratic party votes while these poor people will live off the subsidies of taxpayers for the foreseeable future. But, I can't blame them as I wouldn't want to live south of the border with all the violent crime and corruption when I know that a decent, free education with 2 free meals a school day awaits just north of it, and the U.S. president isn't actively enforcing immigration law in an effort to bolster his party's numbers.

But with Trump as president, the illegals have to know there's a much higher likelihood that they'll be found, rounded up, and tossed back south... unless their friends and relatives in <i>el norte</i> are sending back word that hiding from the American <i>Migra</i> is easier than one might expect.
