Trump orders wall to be built on Mexico border

[Crossless2.0]

One thing I don't get is instead of spending exorbitant amounts of money in deportation and walls, why not make becoming a citizen very, very easy, cheap and fast?  We'd get them socials, IDs, they'd pay taxes, etc etc.  The biggest complaint I hear about immigrants is the "they take our jobs" and "they don't pay taxes" and "they're using gov't services without giving anything back."  So...make it easy to become a citizen, and that kinda alleviates those problems, doesn't it?  Or at least they'll be arrested if they don't pay taxes...like my uncle.

I suspect the unspoken answer is two-fold:

1) It's harder to exploit legal citizens than undocumented workers, and

2) 'Cause too many 'brown' people.
