If the intentionality of Mexico were the core point, you might have more than a micro-gripe. However, such pedantic hair-pulling over a turn of phrase is a red herring. Be it "sends", "facilitates", "encourages", "promotes" or simply "allows", the nation of Mexico exports poverty, criminals, and the poorly educated.
I understand that people who show themselves to be resourceful, highly motivated, and unwilling to accept impositions on their freedom are unwelcome in the USA, where such traits are clearly frowned upon.
To the contrary, the USA unwisely accepted the "resourceful, highly motivated, and unwilling to accept impositions" of the Sicilian Mafia, all rooted in a poor peasant society - not unlike Mexico.

... (they) have the highest level of means tested welfare. 60 percent have failed to graduate from high school; after they arrive 35 percent of them and their US born children live in poverty and 68 percent are either near or in poverty. 57 percent require means-tested government programs to subsidize their "yearning to be free" (or was that a yearning for the free?).
And while they do make progress, even after two decades on almost every indicator they are far behind the native born population, as well as immigrants from every other country. (And after here twenty years, their welfare rate INCREASES).
So, when compared with a population that includes the most privileged people on the planet, they don't perform as well? And they are outperformed by immigrants to the US from such third-world shit-holes as Canada or the United Kingdom (where the majority are native English speakers)? What a huge surprise. I bet that's because of their brown skin and genetic laziness
"So when compared" to not just Canadians and the British Kingdom, but also compared to South Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, Russians, Indians, and Arabs. Unfortunately, not a huge surprise.
Donald Trump is a moron. History is replete with popular morons, and with disasters brought upon those who follow the popular morons who manage to achieve power.
This OP brings to mind the question Obi-Wan Kenobi asked in A New Hope - "Who's the more foolish: the fool, or the fool who follows him?"
Or the fool who focuses on the fool's antics, rather than the truth of his message?
