There was one faction that proposed exactly that after the Mexican-American war of 1846-1848. I'm not saying it is really the answer, or even an answer, but I can see a couple of benefits:

All Mexicans would become Americans, which would solve the "illegal" question.

Mexico would be brought up to American standards, ending the desire to go from there to here.

The US southern border would become much smaller, and much easier to patrol (or even wall off if desired).

And those are observations, not suggestions, and not to be taken seriously.
