It won't work. You build a 1000 wall there will be a 1000 tunnels underneath it as soon as it's built.
This 2-1/2 minute video at the end will describe the 240 tunnels they've already found in the San Diego region alone.

The ins and outs of U.S.-Mexico border tunnels
The only way to secure the border is with high tech motion detectors and more border patrol stations that can respond quickly to an alert. Anything that can be seen---can & will always be compromised. Something that can't be seen won't even be attempted.
Now your Ass Clown turned down a proposal by Chuck Schummer & Nancy Pelosi to do just that. Add more border security and technology to the border, if Trump would go along with a DACA (dreamer bill). Trump refused it--he wants his worthless piece of shit wall--that no congress is going to fund. If Republicans wouldn't do it, Democrats sure won't.
Put in simple term it won't solve the problem because most illegal immigrants in the US did not sneak across the border. Long before the wall is complete, we will be cutting holes for drainage, wildlife crossings and replacing parts with fencing. It's a solution for a crisis that does not exist.
Nothing is 100% effective. I'll accept an 80% level of confidence the wall would reduce illegal crossings by 68%

The empirical evidence shows that the wall will be 100% effective where it actually exists.
That's a crock of B.S,
The only way to secure the border is with high tech motion detectors and more border patrol stations that can respond quickly. Something they can see, can and will always be compromised, something they can't see won't even be attempted.
You had a Republican full house for two years, why in the hell do you think they didn't vote for it.
Here's 2-1/2 minutes of reasons.
If you have a wall, you don't have to respond quickly. You have all the time in the world. That's the whole point of the wall. It's going to take someone at least 15 minutes to get over a 30 ft wall, and that's all the time needed for border patrol to drive up to the location and apprehend the offenders. Without the wall, and offender can be 2-3 miles into US territory before border patrol arrives on the scene.
Building the wall also doesn't prevent you from deploying high tech motion detectors, drones, whatever. In fact, the wall enhances the effectiveness of all other measures.
You shot down your own argument.
You've got a wall, i've got a shovel, digging bars--and if that doesn't do it I will build stairs on the other side of your wall and use ropes blocks tackle & caribeaners, or just bring a ladder to get it over it.
