and again, those numbers start going down when the wall was built.

Look at the numbers from the 80's, 90's and the early 00's when we had recession. They continued to rise.

Even in a recession, our economy was stronger than theirs. It wasn't until our manufacturing jobs went South that it made a real difference. There's no reason to come here and make 8-$10 an hour when they can get a manufacturing job making about the same and stay home 

I don't think a climbable barrier that's not completed had a lot of imoact. Some, sure, but not as much as removing their motivation.
