I am aware of this, but it seems that there was a large increase of illegal immigration after NAFTA passed.
Illegal Immigrants are criminals but that doesn't mean that they are making immoral or irrational decisions. When a society is set up so the most rational decision is to break a law, you know there is a problem or flaw somewhere. Why do you think so many people in the inner city take up drug dealing instead of working at a minimum wage job? It is the most rational decision for them. The risks of drug dealing is much worth the extra money they will be making from it. $1000 a week is much better than $150 a week working full time in a job that very few people could possibly enjoy.
