JUST A THOUGHT.
People from Spanish-speaking countries (e.g., alphabetically, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua) come to the U.S. primarily for economics. No one faults the LEGAL immigrants, those people who follow the law and suffer the most when the illegals take their place in line.
But why the ILLEGALS head north is beyond my ken.

There are a number of disadvantages for illegal aliens from the south.
- LANGUAGE English is not an easy language to learn. Even many “born-in-America” citizens have problems with the language. (Just listen to tv talking heads abuse the language.)
JOBS While illegals can get jobs from the U.S. criminals1 that hire them, their wages are well below minimum wage for citizens and green card holders. Most of the jobs are “dead end” jobs from which the illegal aliens never can extricate themselves.
Let the government sweep down (as it should) and demand I-9s for all an organization’s employees — even domestics — and let the courts levy heavy fines for hiring illegals and watch how many jobs disappear.
(If there were no jobs, most non-criminal illegals — that is, the ones who are not smuggling weapons or drugs into the U.S. — would go elsewhere.)
ICE Despite the Biden/Harris-Emhoff administration’s best efforts to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ICE, at least for now, remains in business. It might only be an inconvenience for an illegal alien, but it could separate members of a family. “Cages” for children were introduced NOT by Donald Trump but by Barack Obama and continue under his former vice president.
Better alternatives
Latinos looking for a better life should look SOUTH rather than north.
First, there are many countries in South America that have Spanish as their national language. In addition to South America, there also is Spain and, in Africa, Equatorial Guinea.
Bottom line: There is no shortage of countries where Spanish, or a variation of it, is the national language.

Having the language, if not the citizenship, is a start.
It means it will be easier to find a job if a person is willing to work.
It means that it is easier to hide from authorities if the country is an unwilling host.
It is possible to get from the north (Mexico) to, say Santiago Chile, by air, bus, or private vehicle.
The economy in South America measured in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) compares favorably with the U.S. According to the World Bank (https://tinyurl.com/ff7wabr4), the GDP for the U.S. in 2020 was 20,936,600. By comparison, the World Bank lists South American countries, some of which have HIGHER GDP than the U.S.!

Does not compute
Realistically why would anyone from Latin America want to come to the U.S,
They will forever be looking over their shoulders for ICE and the IRS.
They have the disadvantage of language.
They are severely limited in the jobs they can hold and the people who will hire them.
Salaries for illegals are well below minimum wage — what choice does the illegal have?
They can’t go home unless they are prepared to start over again.
They may have to pay a steep price for a “guide” to get them across the border — and they take a chance that they will die of heat or thirst before arrival.
America IS the land of opportunity for legal immigrants.
The only “opportunity for illegals is the opportunity to be arrested and deported.
(The current administration in Washington is “subject to change,” and a new administration and congress might drastically revise today’s lackadaisical immigration enforcement.)
