Ever heard of boats, submarines, planes, helicopters, drones, ladders, ropes, tunnels – A modern defense or protection system does not necessarily rely on a wall or fence. Think about what kind of sensory equipment is to be found inside the US military Arsenal. Secondary the war on drugs has never ever ended because it is a war that can not be won unless the demand for drugs ceases and/ or secondary because it is legalized and produced locally. If there is a demand the gains are so big that no wall will do nothing to stop drugs from entering any country. As for immigration, a wall might stop a few desperate actions and attempts but in the bigger scale of things, those doing professional trafficking use a variety of methods – also meaning driving straight through border security. I might very well be that there is a need for better border control but Trump calling it out as a national emergency is pure nonsense – If you got a traffic incident you do not start the aid by planning to build an Ambulance.
For Trump, the Wall is Symbolism and has been from the very start – Everyone can dream about a big clean beautiful wall without realizing that reality is way ahead of a wall.
It has nothing to do with Liberalism right vs left etc. – it has to do with the question if a wall will do what it is supposed to keep someone from getting in or someone from getting out.
Secondary if people keep hiring cheap labor as with the drugs there will be a demand – someone poor hears there are jobs in the e.g USA, that in itself proposes a better life option that what this person might be facing right now – which are often no chance or options at all.
