Summer of '73. I was 10 years old. My family drove from Franklin Ohio to Mexico City and back. We entered Mexico at El Paso and exited at Loredo.
It was pretty arid country, but there was river at the border. If yiu dig a hole 100 feet deep and 1500 m iles long you are going to hit a lot of streams of water. I guess you could run it through pipes. or instal some sort of constant pumping system, but that just adds more cost.
Why not just let it fill with water and become a moat?
In fact a moat on the Mexican side of THE WALL would be the perfect answer to the Mexicans' state-of-the-art anti-wall technology they call "the ladder".
And, don't forget that you can get the Mexicans to pay for it.
But at least we know that the flow of drugs into the United States would drop because it is impossible for drug runners to fly airplanes or drive boats.
