Point being, citizenship can be acquired through investment...

Well, if you can't get here legally, you can't do it either. Those countries with full immigration quotas can't invest here to get residency or citizenship. A Mexican cannot just buy a property and get on the path to citizenship.
Having financial means can make the difference of getting a visa to stay here to get to the green card point, but I think that there's a big difference to the idea that just because you can invest in property, company, American stock, you can get a path to citizenship.
