Let's face it, they're a great source of cheap labor, are unlikely to complain if they're exploited, and "protecting the borders" has become a major industry in Texas and other border states.
Legitimize the workers, and they'd have to start paying workers a living wage and provide reasonable working conditions. Build an impregnable wall and deport all the illegal aliens, and not only do they lose an awesome vehicle for funneling billions to border states, but the Family Groups lose yet another "enemy" to use as a convenient fundraising tool. And, a scapegoat for a whole assortment of social ills.
Not to mention destroying the economy of a number of predominantly "blue" booming communities in the West and Southwest that rely on cheap migrant workers to build their homes, till their fields, and flip their burgers.
