Make it so that applying for US citizenship is quick, easy, and convenient.

The U.S.–Mexico border has the second highest number of both legal and illegal crossings of any land border in the world, behind the Canada – United States border. The border is guarded by more than twenty thousand border patrol agents, more than any time in its history. However they only have "effective control" of less than 700 miles (1,100 km) of the 1,954 miles (3,145 km) of total border, with an ability to actually prevent or stop illegal entries along 129 miles (208 km) of that border.
The government needs to step up and make the process for applying for citizenship quicker, easier, and more convenient. If that is reformed we would have more people working and paying their taxes like everyone should.
