The weather being nicer in the winter is not the only reason most illegal crossings occur in January. Meanwhile they sold the car in Mexico. They also send lots of cash home to Mexico to their families, which is exactly why the Mexican government has a problem with any type of border enforcement. The money earned in the US, sent to Mexico is an amazing percentage of their total economy.
OK, well that is the optimal goal I suppose. Is that a problem for you?

The elementary school my kids went to is one of the top rated schools in the state. As of right now, we are a title IX school, as determined by free school lunches. The reason, since I live in a neighborhood that is considered an upper income neighborhood, median home income of $70k, and 95 % of the homes are valued at over $250k, with some in the multi million dollar category, is because of a little tiny trailer park of 200 dilapidated trailers. The trailer park, by all accounts is 80% illegal aliens. Even though many of them are making decent money (Above the national median income) and their cost of living is low, their kids are getting free school lunches, at federal expense, because they have figured out how to work the system. When that happens, there are a lot of unfunded mandates to the states for title IX schools that fall on the local and state governments.
