Why spend money to build a wall along areas where nature has already created an effective wall?

That's precisely why congress only approved the 700 mile wall on the most porous areas of the border rather than the whole border. It would force them to try and enter in those harsh areas and nature would take care of them.

Then those products can stay in Mexico. Mexico will pay dearly for the wall, that is not needed.
Crashing the Mexican economy, is a good incentive.
