There is something funny about the relation of expenditure on border enforcement and it effect on illegal immigration. "Border enforcement" is very heterogeneous. A "wall" v an army of asylum processing agents are very different.

Also, the model seem pretty reasonable for Mexico, but the asylum issue is not from Mexico
