"It's not like people are sitting around a table somewhere in Central America saying 'I got a great idea. Let's sell everything we have. Let's give it to a Coyote or smuggler. They'll take us on a harrowing journey. Then we're gonna illegally cross the border."

Actually, I think that's exactly how it goes. Native Salvadoran Mrs. Pi says her parents talked about it pretty much every day at the dinner table until, when she was 14, her mother left and came to the US - yes, illegally* but quickly found a sponsor; they're all citizens now - and set things up just like that.

I know you meant bricks. But I'm hoping for the far more difficult to pass cinder blocks.
