Develop a Smarter Approach to Immigration

As I watch debates on illegal immigration, I can't help but notice that nobody has considered the real problem. We get so focused on why people want to come to our country that we forget about why people leave their own. On Day One, the new President should develop an approach to Latin America that focuses on improving democracy, governance and wealth distribution in those countries, because we should know that most people would rather not leave their homeland if they didn't need to.
