What of the wall indeed... Donald wants it because it will be in place a very long time, will be associated with him forever, and will probably be visible from space... it will be the largest construction project in modern day history, and he'll be head foreman...
The average American who wants it, wants it because if you ask "what's a greater discouragement to illegal immigration: a giant desert or a giant desert with a wall", the latter is the more obvious...
I don't think a cheap immigrant labor force is a good idea... Canada for instance has laws that make it impossible to get paid to do work a Canadian citizen can do... if a Canadian entertainment company makes any form of entertainment (tv show, movie, cartoon) every single person who works on the production has to be Canadian... it's strict, but it ensures Canadian jobs are saved for Canadians...
I think that kind of policy would work very well in America when coupled with a robust immigration policy formed specifically for Mexico and other high risk latin American countries that greatly increases citizenship opportunities...
if people are coming but don't want to stay, no work for you... if you want to be here let's get the citizenship papers ready and get you to work... there a wall to be built!
