Don’t you think Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador etc would say it is smarter and wiser to have stronger more protected borders?

Since there has been documented evidence that they actively attempt to prevent illegal entry I would say they very well might. I would also say some of their politicians like some of ours, practice hypocrisy.

They certainly say they do. Porous borders encourage crime

From what I have read and heard on the news all of those countries are astonished that Biden reversed what Trump had setup as they viewed the previous Trump agreement as much more advantageous to the United States than what Biden moved to. The Mexican President was particularly outspoken on the shift back to open borders as it fueled weapons acquisition as well as revenue for the gangs in Mexico making his life more difficult.

You are looking at it like an American. The governments in those countries are very different. Just because the borders aren't secure doesn't mean the people don't want them to be. Government officials, police and even military in those countries get bribed and influenced at the cyclic rate. Cartels moving drugs and folks for the sex trade ensure that there is always someone looking the other way.
