Foreign Policy and Illegal Immigration

Foreign policy does not develop in a vacuum. It must use other resources to properly work. If a nation has problems with illegal foreign immigrants infiltrating its borders, then there is a problem whose solution comes not from treating the symptom but from finding a remedy for the belying cause. A foreign nation might be so impoverished and its government so ineffective that the solution is international in scope and requires private investment. For instance, local and foreign corporations that build their businesses abroad have foreign workers that might then be less inclined to illegally find work in another country. Revenue circulates in proportion to investor activity and increased employment, thereby enriching impoverished local and regional government. Corporations must build entire infrastructures abroad to most productively employ the most people. The concerned government must articulate this global undertaking so that the willing corporation receives all necessary incentives. When a problem's root goes ineffectually managed or continually unmanaged, the symptoms only spread and worsen. Foreign policy has to be adaptive, it has to be international in scope, and it has to be flexible enough to use private investment.
