Ag. policy + NAFTA increase illegal immigration

This connects the dots:

"Beyond a broken immigration system, U.S. policies make U.S. farm products cheap, open borders so we can dump them on Mexico, promote an economic development model that fails to create jobs, and make it easy for companies to use undocumented workers to drive down wages and prevent unionization."



Unless we address our trade, agricultural and labor policies, any efforts to fix out immigration system will fail.
