Somehow I doubt this. The Mexican government is doing what's best for itself, and the politicians: getting rid of the really poor without having to spend any resources on them.

But if we accept the argument that it is the job of the Mexican government to look after its people, is it not, then, the job of nations to look after Mexico (and other poor countries) sufficiently well that Mexicans will not want to emigrate?
And again I say: does that mean that the US should annex Mexico? I don't think the Mexican government would like that.

I expect the "Me First" brigade will quibble
Just a minor quibble, that's all.
