One Simple Immigration Question

Why does not or has not one Washington politician ever suggested that Washington deal directly with the governments of the undocumented to fix the problems in the undocumented's home countries so that they (the undocumented) will not need to come here?

Illegal immigration always boils down to the greed of the "haves" and the need of the "have nots". 

Billions of US tax dollars are spent annually to keep this system "dysfunctional" and "broken".  There is simply too much profit being made by the "haves" in both the United States and in the undocumented's home countries for any of the governments involved to actually to solve the problem.

The war against illegal immigration is not unlike the never ending military and drug wars that the US is perpetually "fighting".   The US military industrial complex must have illegal drugs, terrorists and illegal people to keep fighting and profiting from their "wars". 

Most voters do not look beyond Washington's decades-long immigration narratives to understand what is actually taking place.  One side is accused of trying to let them all in and the other is accused of trying to boot them all out.  Meanwhile decades pass and very little changes.

Of course we all know who really pays the price of this insanity.  Not only the US taxpayers at home but the undocumented themselves suffer the consequences of their own governments' insatiable greed.
