Walls do a great job of keeping suicide bombers out of Israel.
Yes, LET'S US LIVE LIKE ISRAEL, *shaking head*

The border wall Donald Trump wants (mostly) exists.
Newsflash to both
Donald Trump and
Ann Coulter: that wall you’re saying the U.S. needs to build along its border with Mexico…it
mostly exists. There aren’t any lasers, a shark-filled moat, or auto-turrets, but it’s
there. Don’t believe me? Here it is in Mexicali, California.
And Arizona.
And New Mexico.
The New Mexico part of the fence might seem a little haphazard, but it’s important to realize how the terrain is. The way the mountains are, it really doesn’t make sense to put a big fence up. No one is (or should) going to try to sneak into the country that way. It’s just too dangerous and probably a development nightmare for builders. There’s also this fence in the Sonoran Desert which marks the U.S.-Mexico border.
So why the smaller fence? A part of it has to do with how dangerous the desert is. It’s the climate. The Sonoran Desert is, well, a desert, with blistering heat, mountains, and very little water. When the wall was built in the mid-to-late 2000’s there was no point in building a massive structure because the desert is supposed to be a natural deterrent. It makes no sense to try to cross over through a desert which would probably lead to your death.
The Arizona Republic talked to a Border Patrol spokesperson last year who confirmed how dangerous it was.
“It’s the harshest climate along the U.S.-Mexico border. When you’ve got over 30 days of 100-degree weather, that makes it deadly for anybody crossing out there.”
Which is pretty much why coyotes were using this desert to get into the U.S. There aren’t a ton of humans there, which is why the cartels probably use the route. They’d probably still use the route, even if the fence was a massive structure. Desperate people will go anywhere, just look at the Texas border crossings from last year. The Texas fence is done, but it’s not a wall across the state. A lot of that has to do with topography. There are plenty of forests along the border in West Texas, once you get past El Paso, and barely any roads. Lupe Dempsey
told FOX News in 2013 why illegal immigrants tend to avoid West Texas.
“…it pushes the migrants into more remote areas where it is easy to get lost, it is very dangerous.”...
