You know what else is cruel. Invaders coming here taking jobs, driving down wages, taking more in welfare, paying less in taxes, and generally ruining the future for Americans. No, path to citizenship. The only path they need it an escort to the other side of the wall.

It's not only the extremely expensive cost, it's also about practicality. It is far more realistic to create a path to citizenship for hard-working families without a history of crime, than to build a wall, gather up every illegal, and place them on the other side of it. And a lot cheaper.
This is not backed up by studies though. IIRC Borjas argues for changes in the current way immigration works,not that immigration in general is harmful. Welfare problems can be solved by denying them acces to it, during a limited amount of time, citizenship gives them more bargaining power for wages which in turn solves the problem of slave wages, as well as generating more tax revenue.
