"Wrong?" as in "immoral?"
We're talking about extending a wall, vast portions have been assembled already and funded by other Presidents and Congress. All Trump is proposing is completing and extending it.
As for compromise "not being the answer" then what is the answer?
Compromise is always the answer in negotiations. It's either that or take out your pistols and start firing.

The wall that Trump wanted in the beginning goes far beyond anything that currently exists. It is not just a matter of extending or completing what currently exists. There is no wall on the Mexico border that is 18-30 feet high with the base made of concrete and steel slats at the top with technology built in to detect tunneling and other illegal activity. But Trump has changed what he is asking for so many times I don't know what his current proposal is.
"Though Trump denies changing his position, he no longer seeks a monolithic, 30-foot-tall concrete wall stretching for more than 2,000 miles (3,218 kilometers). Plans now call for a more modest, 722-mile barrier that is a mix of wall and fencing, mostly updating what’s been in place for decades, while relying on drones and other methods to secure the rest."
If this is what Trump is really proposing today, he should come out and tell us that and also update the cost figures for such a barrier.
