This is the VISA requirements map for Mexico, why do some people risk their lives & cross the boarder to enter USA illegally? While they can simply book an airline ticket and immigrate to Canada and Europe? Is say 1000 dollars even considered a lot of money?

Visas depicted are for traveling for tourism, not for work or asylum

Op seems to believe that the lack of visa to enter Europe means they can stay in Europe forever. The reason the us requires a visitor visa is exactly because it’s so easy to cross the border. Europe isn’t worried about illegal immigrants purchasing transatlantic flights to come reside illegally beyond the tourism exclusion.

Because most countries not called the US deport illegal immigrants. I’m not sure you understand what a VISA is. And most of the illegal immigrants coming to the US from the Mexican border are actually from Central America. Perhaps you should educate yourself appropriately on the matter before commenting.
