I saw that and it could work if they were constantly under armed guard and in chains while on work detail as in a chain gang. Better to treat them from afar that in our own land...

Then you would also have seen that one of the first investments made are within the migrants themselves, with the intent of converting them from being part of the problem to being part of the solution.
The idea is to assign these retrained migrants to high ranking positions in the new initiative within Mexico - with American supervision - they are high ranking employees.
As you mentioned earlier, a small scale well controlled work program might work.
Such is the seed.
Would it not be interesting if the US and Mexico were to agree upon a strip of land that is effectively 'America Town' within the Mexican nation? The strip of land could be easier to control over the long term for anti-migrant purposes.
Thus you would have a barrier without a (hopelessly out of date) wall, 'and' you would be investing towards a direct neighbor that might be worse off than Oklahoma but would be miles ahead of Mexico core. Better neighbors are ultimately good for you - but thats a process of give and take - which is fair.
Mexico would retain a degree of sovreignity upon its own land, and would retain the right to tax any America-backed townships or cities there, while American ownership of assets results in a potential flow of profits.
And with a foothold in Mexico, the US could actively enhance the culture in the zone with American values - values that 'might' spread.
All very optimistic... but compared to a wall...
You speak as if there is no American presence in Mexico, have a look here:

Technically you have a point - but do any of these American presences do more than sit behind walls? :c)
No criticism there. Embassies are embassies. I'm talking about founding a fully functioning microstate/ city right between USA and Mexico. :c)
"do any of these American presences do more than sit behind walls?"
Well do they? Or do you really not know?
We have established that you are more of an authority on the situation concerning the United States in America.
While I really wasn't expecting that particular question to be answered (it being more of a reference to embassies in general (which do not typically engage in the building of hubs of civilization)) from your most recent response it seems that you know something that I may not. I'd certainly appreciate the sharing of your knowledge.
