Why don't illegals stay home and make their own countries better instead of polluting the US?

Its like asking 'why dont the criminals stop doing crimes'. or 'why dont theives stop stealing'. the answer is because they are illegal. most of the illegals are not highly skilled or highly educated. They usually dont earn enough in their own country or have a low standard/qulaity of living. For them living in the west gives them a better earning and quality of life. They would not prefer to give this up just because its illegal. also they know that if they are caught they will be at most sent back. So better be risk and stay and sent back to their country when (if) caught than leaving the country and returning to their home country voluntarily.
and yes, they have a greater chance of doing illegal activities (other than being an illegal) than someone who is legally in the country.
People who are educated or skill generally would live legally in the west or would go back to their country if they cannot, as their quality of life would still be good in their own country even if they earn less than what they earn in the west.
