This again highlights an issue that has become a rhetorical hobbyhorse for me:

In a lot of nations, you have to have a registered address and have to be able to demonstrate that you are a citizen or legal resident.

This makes it a lot harder for undocumented immigrants to establish themselves, as this proof of citizenship/residence is needed to sign a lease, an employment contract, open a bank account, register a car, enroll a child in schools, apply for social services, etc.

And it would most likely greatly reduce the need for a border wall…

That would not address why they want a wall or why a wall has always been stupid. I don’t care if undocumented folks get bank accounts and other services.
