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

Opposing arguments

Areas with constructed border walls have seen dramatic drops in attempted illegal border crossings, providing real-world evidence of their effectiveness in controlling immigration.

The high reentry rate of aliens previously deported for illegal entry into the United States highlights the ease of crossing the border in the absence of a substantial physical deterrent like a border wall.

Quotes that support the claim

"When drugs are trafficked between points of entry, they are often moved through tunnels, not carried by migrants on foot. "

Supporting arguments

Given the varied and rugged terrain along the US-MX border, a continuous wall does not effectively stop illegal immigration or smuggling, as people can find alternative methods to bypass it
