New Well, if there was one controlling force, we would know it.
I suspect there are many forces at play. Devaluation of the peso is certainly motivation for the illegals. Yes, and it makes it easier for Walmart and Home Depot to buy up Mexican stores and for IBM to get their PCs assembled. It should also make Mexican tomatoes more attractively priced in the US.

New Yeah, after all, farm workers are much better paid than
factory workers. Ask all the people who used to make cars in the US if they're better off or not.

It doesn't take a "single source". It only takes a confluence of interests and power.
