3. People will find alternate ways in either using tourist visas, going by sea, air etc.

4. It may never get done. Funding could get cut, there could be legal issues, etc.


A better way to spend this money and curb illegal immigration would be:

1. End birthright citizenship. This will kill illegals ability to get welfare.

2. Go hard after the companies that hire illegals. I'm not talking about the random place that accidentally hires one illegal. I'm talking about the bigger industries. Much of the construction, agriculture, and food prep industries in this country operate on the backs of illegals.

3. Streamline the deportation process to make it quicker.

4. Improve and streamline the system that is in place that allows people to come here legally.

5. Work with the countries where most of the immigrants come from to improve those countries so fewer people will want to leave.

When people know they can't get jobs or welfare here, they will stop coming here.
