Donald Trump proposed the wall as a symbol to Latino people to the south to "Go home, You are not Welcome Here". Nobody builds a fence around their house, or a stadium, or a government building as a symbol to a group of people to "keep out of OUR country".

(50,560 posts)If I remember correctly, illegal immigration was lower under President Obama than under President Bush II, and its lower now than it was under President Obama because Obamas downward trend continued. No wall was necessary. More enforcement agents and better electronics are necessary.
In basic training they teach you how to build obstacles, of which a border wall would be one. The first thing they tell you: these dont work on their own. Without observers, dogs, mines and strong laws, the wall wont work...and Trump doesnt have the political capital to get away with hiring two million border guards or laying mines.
Trumps using Israels Apartheid Wall as his proof walls work. Israel has a wall backed up by a law that throws illegals in prison for three years, and most of the immigration stopped before the Wall was up because of that law. You can build plenty of prisons for $5 billion.
