If you want to "dissuade" them, then you need to attack the incentives they have for crossing illegally. That means going after the people who make it worth their while, the businesses that eagerly hire them for the sub-minimum wages they're willing to accept in their desperation.
Globalization would, once complete, also remove their incentives to seek higher wages in foreign countries since the goal is to raise everyone's standard of living. But that's a longer and much harder process.
The problem is, of course, that it's easier for us to attack the symptom (the illegal immigrants) than the disease (the greed of those businesses that hire them). And among certain factions, even suggesting we go after those businesses is pure heresy.

Is that the goal of globalization? Because I could've sworn it was very much the exact opposite of that.
I've never seen anything good from Globalization. Its like making all the laws in every US state the same. There'd be no purpose in the states at all. The same goes for countries. Globalization dilutes culture & the differences between peoples that give them their identity. There would be no reason for sovereignty at all. People would not be able to live as their conscious dictates- nor would they be able to pack up and move to some place where they could live as they see fit.
I'm all for bringing up the huddled masses into the light of civilization & technology but not at the cost our diversity.
All I've ever seen Globalization do is exploit labor and damage the environment by moving jobs/factories to countries with low or non-existent labor and environmental standards.

As did I...So everyone else makes about $1.00 a day,if that, and the 1% is floating in oceans of money.

Na, altruistically, it's ok as a goal. Realistically, well that is the rub. Very, very convoluted.
And let's not discount the receiving end of inward remittance. How much they get from it and do nothing to discourage it.
