While I can't argue with the numbers, and I agree with your observation that Obama has screwed us on the national debt (not to include Obama care), but I just don't see what a 30 foot wall will do to stop illegal immigration or drug traffickers. Can't you picture some sombrero wearing Mexican entrepreneur selling 31 foot ladders? I sure can.
Walls can be breached. Most illegal immigrants and drugs come here via border crossings anyway.
If you want to stop illegal immigration, go for the manufacturers and construction contractors who employ them. These are the ones who are not only taking advantage of poor immigrants who are looking for a better life, but are also driving down the price of such services to the point where legitimate contractors are leaving the business because they can't make a profit without breaking the law.
Make hiring illegals a felony and a lot of things will get better.
And for those of you who read this and think I'm being racist or nationalist or whatever, I'll tell you now that I work for Mexicans who are great employers who are very good to me and came to this country *****LEGALLY!!!***
Its a step in the right direction. Border patrol agents sayy over 95% of the ppl they catch come through the side of the border with no barrier. Illegal immigration is already way down under Trump and a border wall is just another obstacle for them to get through. People talk about tunnels but those are expensive to build. Cartels arent going to sacrifice a tunnel by allowing illegal immigrants to use them to get into the country. Those are probably on the cali border mostly but they also use drug mules to make runs where there is no border. Why would they use tunnels where the border is open?
I agree with you though about making it a serious offense to hire an illegal tho.
Has social justice gone too far?
