The Wall is very needed for purely economic reasons. Illegal migrants cost the US 100s of $billions and a wall is one step towards slowing it down. I've post ed figures continuously on this to prove I'm right. Just Google Illegal immigrants in prison and then the cost of US prisoners to get a fraction of the costs.
After continued failure by consecutive governments to curb illegal immigration, Trump was the first to make it a corner stone of his campaign. The Liberals ignored this and came out with the same platitudes that have got nothing done. The only thing they could trumpet was that illegal immigration was down. As if it would never rise again.
The wall is only one tier of a immigration policy that needs tightening. Repeat employers and landlords of illegals need to go to prison, one time employers should be fined more than it costs to catch them. Sanctuary cities need to have Federal money withdrawn from them. Zero benefits need to be given to illegal immigrants, this includes schools, hospitals, etc. No SS Number or Driving License.
Some interesting reading.

Are immigrants eligible for state benefit programs?
In some states, yes. Twenty-six states make immigrants eligible for state-funded benefit programs. Most of these states either offer assistance to families or provide access to healthcare to otherwise uninsured immigrants. Examples of these programs are New York’s Safety Net Assistance, California’s CalFresh Food Assistance Program, and California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI).

This was what Democrats were offering. No wonder they lost.
