If you don't seperate the cured Krogan from the general population, they will become instant targets.
I disagree with that assessment, but the worst case scenario here is that the Krogan don't get cured, which is a zero, not a negative. In any case, these cured Krogan are more likely to be a vital resource that the other clans wish to recruit, not destroy.
You seem to think that the Alliance will have an unprecedented amount of control over this cure and it's distribution, considering that the Salarians will be the ones to make it. It might not even be Shepard or the Alliance's decision to begin with. And in your galaxy where the Alliance is controlling the rest of the galaxy, I could easily see the Salarian STG releasing the cure as a tactic against their human oppressors.
If we don't control the cure, then we should destroy it, but so far as we know, Shepard and Mordin are the only two with significant access to the data that might result in the cure, and my guess would be that Mordin would approve, or be dead and gone (he's pushing 50) by the time we start this initiative. Due to their possible access to the Genophage, we might consider allying with the Salarians, so that we keep our project under control. It is more important that the Krogan
don't have the cure than the specifics of who
does. No one wan't the Krogan to become too powerful.
Also, the Krogan replicating the cure are not necesarrily part of the solution. Just listen to the Clanspeaker from Clan Weryloc.
Weryloc was not capable of manufacturing a cure, they were only smart enough to get someone who could.
Finally, you are greatly overestimating the influence of the U.S in the world. Alliances with =/= power over the country. If the U.S tried to control those countries, the U.S would fall to pieces. It's just logistics; a single nation cannot effectively govern that much territory, with that many people, especially when those people do not support you. We've already seen the beginnings of this, with the Human-Turian arms race if you kill the Council. And this is with humanity playing it nice right now. If you try to exert too much control, things will not end well for you. There are less than 15 billion humans in the Mass Effect galaxy. There are trillions or organics in total. You simply can't control them all.
Control and power are not always exercised though force. The US has a huge amount of economic and military power to leverage other nations diplomatically.
Also, we don't necessarily need to take everyone under our wing at once, in any case. First, we take in the weak and crippled species; we take the ones who
want our protection, but don't want to put up with the Council's BS (Quarians, Krogan, Vorcha). Just because they are client species does not mean that the arangement is not mutally beneficial. We aid the Quarians with resettling a world in exchange for their technical and naval skills. We serve as better masters for the Vorcha in exchange for their service in reconstruction and other hazardous jobs. We help the Krogan work their way past the genophage in exchange for their warriors.
