I was a victim of sentence structure. I'm using conservatism with a little c! That will impact negatively on both sides of your party puzzle

I think that you are discounting the most important factor though... personal responsiblity. The blame lies with those that break the laws. There are other avenues that are open to those that are suffering. It is not so much that they are being pushed as that they are being pulled... big difference.
Personal responsibility would be an integral factor if, via the use of the criminal justice system, the individual could be manipulated towards legitimate activity. There is no evidence to support that position. Once wage differentials are enabled to flourish, labour mobility will follow. If the goal is to remove illegal immigration then narrowing those differentials is a must
