To me, a 'wall' would not have to be a physical wall. That is especially true when you look at the topography of the area. Many miles of the border could probably be 'protected' by simply better surveillance and security measures. All you have to do is to take the Google 'Earth' flyover and look at the terrain.
If Trump at least makes the attempt to tighten border security, punishes businesses that use illegal immigrants and stems the tide of exported jobs and work; I would be happy. But we will have to wait and see how this all plays out.
We tried that under Bush... it was called The Virtual Fence. It resulted in thousands of virtual apprehensions... in other words it accomplished absolutely nothing.
Nothing short of a well defended physical barrier is going to stop these people. we had the Secure Fence act in 2007 but that was defunded (naturally). We got about 30 miles of a promised 700 mile fence.
Deny foreign aid to them, stop trading with them, etc.
not realistic, America trades and gives aid to almost the whole world and with countries far more "dangerous" than mx. we would not cut off aid or trade. try again.

Says you. Never said that Mexico itself was dangerous to us but they are encouraging their people to come here illegally. They need to pony up with the U.S. and stop this invasion of our sovereign borders. It wouldn't come down to cutting off aid and trade with them. Once the threat is announced they would comply.
I doubt you have that many wealthy illegals with property worth enough to build 2 miles of that fence.
Maybe not but they cost us billions by continuing to come here illegally. That needs to be curbed significantly. Removing the incentives for them to remain here would save us billions a year also.

seriously doubtful. a threat not followed through is meaningless. America would never cut off aid or trade.

Thousands of low riders could pay for a lot of fence.
