✓OPINION ON THE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S BORDER WALL IDEA!

No the United States should be looking for the best option in terms of illegals stopped for the money spent. The Border Wall would cost billions and not stop very many at all in my opinion. 

Even if your goal is better border security a wall is a terrible fucking idea. You'd be better putting 5 billion into machine gun turrets than you would be putting it into a wall. Even then though, you still wouldn't solve the problem of people coming on airplanes, which is how MOST people come to the country anyways.

Here are some things you could do that would ACTUALLY stop illegal immigration:
1) You start to crack down on the corporations that hire illegal immigrants. The whole reason that immigrants come to the United States is because companies will hire them, and the reason companies will hire them is because they work at lower wages than legal workers. So, something you could do is start monitoring companies that do this. If immigrants can't get jobs, they'll stop coming.
2) You take the money you'd have spent on a wall and you use it to help Mexico become a better place. You help the Mexican government clear out the cartels. You find ways to weed out corruption in the Mexican government. If Mexico were a safe place to live, people wouldn't be leaving it for the US. Short term it'd definitely be costly, but long term we would get better trade deals with Mexico. We already get a lot of manufactured goods from Mexico like car parts, and if Mexico was doing better economically WE would also be doing better economically.
3) You legalize drugs. The cartels come to the United States because there's a drug market. Legalizing drugs takes the market out of the hands of gangs and puts it into the hands of honest businessmen who can be regulated. There are other benefits to having legal drugs that I can get into if needed but they aren't directly related to the conversation.
We could do one or all of these things and it would be way more helpful for our economy than a wall.

Or, we could do what economists say we should do and open our borders. I like capitalism a lot, and capitalism works best when there's free movement of labor. Immigrants coming into the country means that the labor pool is expanded. Immigrants tend to work for lower wages, and if we got rid of the minimum wage it would drive the price of labor downwards. Because these immigrants tend to be willing to work for lower wages than the native population, companies can expand their facilities and create more product for less money. The expansion of low-skilled labor means that more high-skilled managing jobs would open which could be filled by better educated people in the native population. The creation of more product means that companies can cut prices on the consumer end as well, which means that although low-skilled workers may be getting payed less, the products they buy will also be less expensive.
Now, maybe you don't really like capitalism, in which case you probably don't like the idea of open borders. But from the perspective of a capitalist, like myself, my plan is the best way forward from an economic standpoint at the very least.

I believe that the wall is an extremely impractical way to go about it. I don't support illegal immigration, but there are most definitely better ways to keep illegal immigrants out of our country than a huge wall.

Even if the wall comes to fruition, someone will find a way to get over it, go under it, or bypass it completely. Our money is better spent on actual effective ways to suffocate illegal immigration.

Point 2's not entirely accurate. A lot of illegal immigrants don't come from Mexico (heck, Mexico isn't even that awful of a place to live). They come from countries in Central/South America that have it much worse, places like El Salvador and Guatemala. To make it here, at least on land, they have to go through Mexico.

Yes. Mexico isn't as bad as Venezuela or Colombia or other Central/South American countries, but still, some parts are dangerous.

I think I may not have articulated myself correctly. I wasn't implying that Mexico was as bad as other Central American/South American countries. I was trying to say that, if Mexico was doing better than it is now, then all the illegal immigrants coming through Mexico to the US would probably just stop in Mexico.
