Describe the issues of immigration between the U.S. and Mexico. What are the immigrants reasons for coming? What effect does it have on the U.S. and on Mexico? What proposals have been made to help the illegal immigrants in the U.S. How have the U.S. and Mexico tried to stop the illegal immigration?

Mexican drug trafficking and illegal immigration to the United States are inevitable. Do you agree or disagree? Explain.
