Build a large-scale wall along the US-MX border

Quotes that support the claim

"Manufacturing, agriculture, energy production, and ecosystems on both sides of the border depend on equitable and effective water sharing from the Rio Grande and the Colorado River, dictated by long-standing international treaties. If Mexico decided to retaliate against the US building a wall that violates treaties, U.S. farmers and others along the Rio Grande could face water shortages that cost them their livelihoods. "
