Maybe also need to remember that, if you are required to put a quarter million bucks into Thai banks or bonds, that you lose the potential investment income of that money. Eg, if you invest in a conservative bond fund that pays 3% in dividends, you are losing $7500 a year.

The various US industries aren’t employing any in documented workers?
Nothing happening south of the border is driving people to seek a better life?
Little bit of everything really. Farms and businesses demand cheap labor too. I blame the left because they are the ones who trumpet about this issue and make noise, try their usual emotional arguments, etc. Trump for his faults at least tried to solve the problem. The current administration is making a total hash of it. And you can see that reflected in the plummeting support for the Democrats in the Hispanic community.
There needs to be enforcement at the border of course, but also people who employ illegals need to be punished. Nothing drives down wages for American citizens faster than competition from people who are underpaid and exploited.
Frankly I don't care what is happening south of the border. That is no reason to break into another country. These people are not refugees by any stretch of the imagination. They are seeking a better economic situation. So, they can apply for visas at US embassys/consulates just like everyone else.

No kidding. The illegal problem has gotten much worse under Uncle Joe. Nearly 2 million last year alone. Not to mention the mysterious midnight flights around the country, carrying planeloads of illegal aliens to destinations unknown.
One of the more basic requirements for a nation to exist is to have borders. It seems that Joe and the left of his party don't want those. They would rather have cheap labor available to water their lawns and clean their toilets.

Biden calls migration a 'hemispheric challenge' in meeting with Mexican president

The people most adversely effected by illegal immigration tend to be BIPOC people, those without education, single parents, service industry workers, etc. In other words, vulnerable people. The artificial pressure put on wages by competition from illegal immigrants hurts them.
Hence the need for a strong border and aggressive enforcement of labor laws.
