Hillary has thought about this and discussed her plans to work with Central America countries to prevent more immigrants from crossing the border. I do not know if Sanders or OM has discussed any prevention plans. Hillary is trying to get at the root of the problem (in addition to trying to make the current situation more humane).

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called for an end to the Obama administration's deportation raids targeting mothers and children fleeing violence in Central America, arguing the policy creates "unnecessary fear and disruption."

"Our immigration enforcement efforts should be humane and conducted in accordance with due process, and that is why I believe we must stop the raids happening in immigrant communities," Clinton said in a statement. "We have laws and we must be guided by those laws, but we shouldn’t have armed federal officers showing up at peoples’ homes, taking women and children out of their beds in the middle of the night. The raids have sown fear and division in immigrant communities across the country."

Clinton's statement was accompanied by a plan to address the number of Central American immigrants seeking asylum in the United States. In addition to ending the raids, Clinton called for providing government-funded attorneys to those seeking asylum, reforming the refugee process and addressing problems facing Central America. .....................

1. Immigration reform is needed, the last reform was thirty years ago,

Followed by years of not enforcing the last reform. We also have terrible turmoil in countries and people are just trying to stay alive.

2. The only mention I've heard of these raids is on Democracy Now

The media is completely ignoring it. Mostly, I would suspect, because it doesn't fit the narrative.
