So many people in Nogales, Sonora have permits to enter the US (slightly more than 40%, last time I checked) that it's pretty easy to find someone that looks like you and use it. A lot of undocumented people walk in right past US Customs.

If people can already get past because they look like them and can provide other documents if in question - then more troops or less troops isn't going to stop that. Unless we are going to start making a DNA record of everyone - we're screwed in that department.
Have you actually read what they are doing? They're bringing in 3,000 more national guard into the state, or wanting to.
Every place the wall is up, has an extreme less amount of people coming through. Nothing, not the biggest, baddest wall, armed guards and land mines won't keep everyone out... people still come in and out of NK - no border can be totally secured and being that we aren't going to anything like that, ever - it's going to be far less secure - so a wall is damn sure needed as another step to slow them down.
