There won't be a coalition wall because the Republican ranchers of southern Texas don't want a wall. Obama built some segments of bollard fencing, and it shows the problems of building a wall. Much of the border is a river. You can't build wall in a river, so the wall has be built on private lane. Due to geography, the wall had to bisect that private land. So ranchers have to drive to a crossing to get from one side of their land to the other. In those areas with a physical border, smugglers just tunnel under it. Illegals are smuggled in in secret compartments of vehicles. A wall doesn't stop them. Additionally, half of the people here illegally, just came legally, but overstayed their visa. A wall won't stop them either. People come here illegally to work. Prevent them from working, they won't come. Enact laws that severely fine any employer who hires an undocumented worker, be it cleaner, nanny, gardener, meat processing plant worker, sweat shop worker, or construction worker. Provide every citizen with a SS photo id, just like a green card. Not only will that make it easier for employers to vet employees, but this will stop the constant suppression of minority voters.
