a smart physical barrier (high walls in urban areas, fences in desolate areas with clear line of sight, whatever the expert engineers decide) is a practical and humane way to mitigate the desire to illegally enter the united states. a huge waste of money would be doing nothing and allowing republicans and democrats feign compassion for these people while using the perennial issue to be reelected and border crossers themselves as cheep labor. Trump just offered a THREE (beyond his term) year daca extension in exchange for border funding. Stop pretending like doing nothing and allowing the problem to exist is a solution- this isn't bigotry its actually one of the most humane ways to mitigate further damage.

i'm not talking about doing nothing. i want exactly what you said to happen, to clear up the daca mess that neither side wants to weigh in on and make real policy, because it would alienate their constituents. daca has served its purpose. it was a temporary deferral. now that that period is up, and since no one has created a path to citizenship, deport those people, immediately.
the wall makes cbp's job more difficult. they want to be able to see what's going on in mexico, not having a barrier blocking them. a wall stops no one, if people want to cross, they will. the majority come through legally and overstay. the wall also does nothing to deal with illegals in this country.
