How about improving the general living conditions in Mexico and by that slow down the constant flow of illegal immigration? It's not like all these people want to leave their families, because they rather work shitty jobs under severe conditions in a country filled with people who hate their guts.
How about building up a strong, competitive economy in Mexico, with US help, to create jobs in their own country, and not only rely on drug production/trafficking as their only national cash crops. It seems like a vicious circle to me, because the huge demand for drugs in America is one of the reasons why Mexico is in such a corrupted and violent state to begin with.
If Mexicans were able to put as much effort into building their own functioning and legal economy (providing a humane standard of living) as they put into drug trafficking (which they seem to be real good at), illegal immigration would be no issue anymore, because Mexicans would want to stay and work in Mexico.
