So, not only do most illegal immigrants, and drugs, enter the country through legal ports of entry which means a wall is pointless to reduce either thing, there are the questions of effectiveness and efficiency. Walls are only truly effective in urban areas. The reason for this is because walls don't stop people, they slow them down. Walls at places where a city (or cities) are on the border, walls are effective because it helps increase the response time window for CBP. In these areas the response time for CBP is measured in seconds or minutes. On most of the border, where the response time is measured in hours and days, walls do nothing.
This is what I learned by listening to Congressman Hurd (R, TX-23) talking about this issue as well as information I have learned reading ethnographic accounts of border crossers and other items on the issue.
