I don't think a wall will work in the modern age.

Walls were good 500 years ago. If someone builds a 10 foot wall, someone will build an 11 foot ladder.
The best way is to force their home nations to keep it's citizens there. And make the INS powerful to deal with companies that hire them.
Illegal immigration is not a big a problem as what some say. Illegals are productive, and put money into our economy.

We are expats in Switzerland, a very open and welcoming country for Legals only. There government has put very stringent laws and penalties for the offenders both the employer and employee. It deters people from offending, ad they DO APPLY the law. I think that is the key. What will keep illegals out, is the lack of demand not a fence (since human mind can always come up with the next crazy way of crossing the board).
In Switzerland we switch health insurance companies. So, to make sure that foreigners don't use or abuse there system, the old company notified the government that we have no insurance with them anymore. The city set a letter asking for new insurance. Therefore the law and good monitoring (like making sure that the employer log in the SS, and info into national database to check the status and identity), will make sure that who more in the country and legal residents (nationals or immigrants)

I think making English the primary language will stop a lot of the overcrowdign of schools the driving tests being in spanish and english and jobs being taken away due to lack of being bilingual. Then I would definitley do like cali and make a law prohibiting tenants to allow individuals that are not legal to live in there building and that goes for employers as well that would be a good start for me

The best way is whatever works. A fence alone won't do it. If you put troops there, are they going to shoot people attempting to cross? Where is the deterrent? Maybe, a year in a "tent jail" for any illegal attempting to cross the border? It would put a tax burden to feed them for a while, but less than feeding and providing health care and education for their entire family. We need to provide a deterrent strong enough to stop the attempts.

It is better than nothing. Even tunnels and wire cutters create bottlenecks. Crime has gone way down on both sides of the border where the fence was put in in San Diego. It does have an impact.
However, we need to dismantle the employment and benefit magnets that draw them here to begin with.

First of all, it's going to be a smart wall, It doesn't matter if you tunnel or climb over it. Second the wall is more symbolic then anything else. It's Americans reaching their wits end with the garbage.
