I don't think that will happen. People continue to underestimate Trump and his determination to do what he promised. More wall will be built. It just remains to be seen how much. What I find sad is that people actually oppose it when everyone knows it will work, even its opponents. If walls don't work why do people continue to build them? Why do the political, media and Hollywood elites have them around their estates? Can't anyone just use a ladder? That's what we keep hearing.
Walls work to defend against crimes of opportunity, and they work because there are other easier targets nearby. It is easier to steal jewelry from a home without a wall than it is from a home with a wall. This doesn't logically mean that it is therefore impossible to steal jewelry from a home with a wall, correct?
Walls don't work against someone determined to bypass them, and every person who attempts to cross the border falls into that latter category. If I offered you a million dollars if you were able break into a random celebrity's walled home I guarantee you I would owe you a million dollars. And I am willing to bet you are in at least slightly worse physical shape than someone who crossed the Mexican desert on foot with a plan to cross the US border.
