What stupid remarks. Trump has no power over US oil companies. His wall is a vanity not a solution to the problem. Fine employers who hire illegals and they will self_deport in six months.
Trump is incredibly stupid.
You are the one with stupid remarks.
POTUS has power over the Executive Branch agencies and departments and they control leases for new drilling and exports, along with mandates on emissions like CO2 - via EPA, etc. - See Biden's past few years of constraints and efforts to "get off fossil fuels".
A border wall is an effective tool to help in limiting illegal entry IF it is backed by agents on patrol with authority to apprehend and immediately deport. Even more effective would be getting Mexico to work with us on eliminating the cartels which are major source of those illegals coming across the border.
There is next to no significant investigation or enforcement of E-verify, which isn't widely used and has it's faults. A more efficient way to encourage "self_deport" would be for the Guv-mint to refuse to provide money, food, transportation, shelter, medical care, and/or any other rewards for entering this country illegally.

E-Verify: Strengths, Weaknesses, and Proposals for Reform
...
An effective electronic eligibility verification system is an essential component of the U.S. immigration system, but questions as to whether the E-Verify employment verification system should be made mandatory remain. This Insight examines the strengths and weaknesses of E-Verify, which has grown dramatically in recent years, and discusses proposals for reform, including adding biometric screening to the system.
Notwithstanding important steps taken by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to increase the system’s timeliness, accuracy, and oversight of employer compliance, E-Verify remains vulnerable to identity fraud and employer misuse, offers no ability to detect off-the-books employment, and is costly. As a result, enactment of new E-Verify mandates without broader immigration reform may do more to harm the economy and U.S. workers than to deter illegal immigration and to protect U.S. jobs.
Any new E-Verify mandate runs a high risk of adverse unintended consequences, so changes should be phased in gradually and evaluated against concrete performance benchmarks. The most promising strategy for successful expansion of E-Verify is to link new employment verification mandates to a targeted or comprehensive immigration reform effort. In this, employers and unauthorized workers would have incentives to use the program and comply with its requirements.

There is no single solution. Rather a mix/blend of actions is the best way to get effective results.
