The United States is likely the main cause of this immigration flow. We regularly meddle in the elections and politics of South American countries. [1]
Many of the immigrants coming to the US currently are fleeing Honduras, where we seemed to have supported a coup in 2011. [2]
Besides coups, our drug war has been exported to the area and has had a negative effect as well.
So yeah, the same people criticizing the US for meddling in other countries are criticizing it's immigration policy because the immigration problem is caused by the meddling. They think the United States should take responsibility for the problem it created.
