Nothing can stop drug usage by force – it is a part of the traits of our culture. Either we need to change part of the culture that creates a strong divide and exclusion for the people that does not fit the "Norms" or it needs to be legalized so that the criminal relations to the drugs are minimized. Neither is something that is easy to do. Modern cultures in the west have gradually lost most of their relations to nature and local social communities – Materialism cannot solve these issues because humans have emotions. Even very rich people have problems and some also drug problems – You can essentially have everything in check and still end up with having problems. Legalization demands for openness about the actual problems that drug abuse can cause but done the right way it will take away a lot of money (abilities) away from organized crime and in the best cases create new jobs and economic growth. And the Wall yes ooh the Wall – No it is not gonna do shit about drug trafficking – the Cartells and related crime organizations have so much money that losing some planes, boats, trucks whatever does not mean anything at all – hell they even use submarines. So the Wall for stopping drug trafficking is absolute pure nonsense. And drug trafficking is not going to stop as long as there is a demand – And the Demand is there and it is huge and drugs are used in all levels of society. Anybody want to stop drug trafficking needs to look at the reasons why people use drugs – If people have fewer or no needs for drugs, then a large part of the market will simply disappear. The USA and many other countries have essentially wasted billions of dollars trying to stop drug trafficking by force for a very long time – The results of these efforts are laughable – like a drop in the ocean. Even when Drug fighting agencies catch a huge chunk or get some high ranking members behind bars it still has close to zero effect in bigger scale of things. when there is a need for something – somone will provide for that need. Stop one man and another man will take over. Citizens with a strong belief in strong law and order are often not getting the bigger picture in regard to drugs – the fact that it can not be stopped (eliminated) by force only because there are reasons why people take and/or abuse drugs and for the most part it has nothing to do with the providers of the drugs – at least that does not be a bad cycle really starts. Fighting drugs as it has been done for the about last 5 decades is more or less completely useless. The only thing it accomplishes is for politicians to have scapegoat issues to point too while not facing the real problems that need to be addressed and someway solved. It also keeps the law enforcement departments having enhanced budgets which again provide sale options for companies delivering equipment to the law enforcement. One must just take into account that many of these companies also sell their equipment to other buyers – so what should give an advantage to the law enforcement is immediately negated and rendered null. There are no easy solutions to this and no finite answers – but what has been done so far is a waste of money and manpower. Surely a Wall is not gonna change anything at all in this regard.

@lukea2902 it will do close to nothing in that regard (perhaps a few deperados) - at least it will not do more than what could be done with more manpower and advanced surveillance technology and fast response teams. The city zones might need some actual walls but in the open land No. How is wall gonna stop a plane, a helicopter, a boat, a submarine, a drone or for that sake a truck driving over the official border check point - A wall can not do anything at all about this. The major Drug trafficking flow will remain unchanged with a Wall. There is a need and the cost benefit including risk of loosing deliveries and vehicles are so immense that it will have no effect at all. If you want to stop drugs, stop the need for taking drugs and/or stop the immense income prospect of providing drugs.
