Exactly that's the point --> "If a big wall gets built the other ways of getting people accross will be utilized."
Yes some people will still get through - even if you did build a military force, some would still get through. Not that you could really build a force to 'blockade' the border spanning across 1/3 of the united states and that's cutting right through peoples lands....
The amount of money it costs for troops and the amount of troops it would take to police a border with no wall would cost far more than several walls being built, very quickly.
It's logical to do everything we can that works and we can't logically fund troops protecting the border forever across an area that large.
