melodk is correct. Technological answers are much better, and cheaper, than a wall. The stupid wall is unpopular with those who live along the border, because of the disruption it causes in their lives without actually stopping the problem. We have examples in the portions of wall Obama built. Additionally, half of the people here illegally, just came legally, but overstayed their visa. A wall won't stop them. 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.

Trump doesn't really want to stop the problem of illegal aliens. His hotels hire them. If he really did, he'd push legislation to punish those who hire them, not a useless wall. Much of the border is the Rio Grande. You can't build wall in a river, so the wall ends up bisecting private land. That wall disrupts the lives of those whose land is bisected, and the migration of endangered species. In those areas with a physical border, smugglers just tunnel under it, or they smuggle people and drugs 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.
