Allowing more immigrants into the USA barely makes a dent and does not get to the root of the misery. Since hunger is a great motivator for various things illegal, I was thinking that generous donations; & increased food production with accessibility (teach a man to fish ...) where the desperate masses live would help immensely. Regarding donations: hubby reminded me of a basic problem in our 3rd world country and in many others: greed/theft. Many hands got to the till. As youngsters we were occasionally direct recipients of the US' generosity. I was grateful, but knew that the quantity was a trickle by the time it got to my sack. Government workers, politicians, dock workers, teachers, nuns, et al, also had their cut of the bounty.
[God] Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.- Psalm 60
