Every so often a boat load of Haitians arrives in Jamaica to ask for asylum. After a month or two of asylum, they ask to go back.
They go back because there are no jobs for them, because no one takes them in, and because the ‘benefits’ they get are on par with someone in a maximum security prison.
In America, it is different.
Firstly, there are jobs. They aren’t nice ones, they are hard work, long hours, no benefits, and the cash isn’t that much, but it’s enough for them to survive.
They have opportunities here and there for freeness, whether a soup kitchen, a homeless shelter, and chances to make money outside of legal bounds.
America is not the only country that has this kind of opportunity; most countries in Europe do. The mere idea of being housed free, of getting free medical care is, for many migrants, as amazing as flying to the moon on a broomstick.
Aliens know if they can marry a citizen they get to be legal, and so marriages take place, some paid for. I can think of two females in England who went up as drug mules and took the cash, paid two Brits to marry them, got their papers regularised and are comfortable.
The key fact is that if no one hired these Aliens they would stop coming. It is very much like the Australian method of putting illegal migrants on islands in the Pacific.
If one is running for the life, the mere fact that they are now safe should be enough. But it isn’t enough, because hey aren’t really running for their lives, they are running to the money. When there is no money, when there are no benefits, when there is no chance to enter a legalising marriage, why bother?
If America clamped down on the hiring of the illegals, that is, arresting and fining anyone who hired an illegal, then obviously there would not be much enticement to hire them.
If there were no jobs, no benefits, then what’s the point?

The number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. has stabilized in recent years after decades of rapid growth. But the origin countries of unauthorized immigrants have shifted, with the number from Mexico declining since 2009 and the number from elsewhere rising, according to the latest
But some state populations had changed since 2009, despite the stable trend at the national level. From 2009 to 2014, the unauthorized immigrant population decreased in seven states: Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Nevada and South Carolina.
In all of them, the decline was due to a decrease in unauthorized immigrants from Mexico. In six states, the unauthorized immigrant population rose over the same time period: Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington.
In all of these but Louisiana, the increases were due to growth in unauthorized immigrant populations from nations other than Mexico. In Louisiana, it was an increase in Mexican unauthorized immigrants that drove the overall increase in the number of unauthorized immigrants.
The reason why people come is money. The chance to make more money.. considering the rate of exchange... Many who come through Mexico are not Mexicans. They come from Honduras, El Salvador, etc.

When you are running for your life, you run anywhere you can be safe. Many people decide to go to the United States and use whatever is happening as the reason.
