Yes. And as I recommended to the Administration, making it a tourist attraction with restaurants, bars, shopping etc. through public and private financing would turn it into something better than The Great Wall of China and Disney World.

And instead of restaurants and bars and the like, we could promote adventure tourism, like the safaris in Africa. We could charge people to run around on jeeps and shoot illegals. Maybe your tourists could take home trophies, after the corpses make a trip to the taxidermist. This would provide badly needed business to deer processors in border areas who are suffering from the drought in tourism because of Covid.
I'm not serious of course. I'm sure Winn Dixie is not either, as we depend on a steady flow of Cuban and Venezuelan women across the border to replenish the stripper population in clubs like Chicas Bonitas.
Seriously, I believe Trump's concerns about robbers and rapists and Americans deprived of menial jobs they don't want anyway are overstated. However, I don't like people coming to America illegally, becoming citizens, and voting for Democrats. And, more importantly, there are a lot of people who die crossing the border, hundreds every year, some from dehydration and the like, and others killed by the cartels. That's not to mention those who are raped and robbed. If you could put up some kind of an effective barrier, not necessarily a wall, cheaply that would dissuade people from risking life and limb, that would be a good thing.
