If you mean that it won't be 100% effective, then I agree. NOTHING is 100% effective.
However, even if it is only 50% effective, that is a 50% decrease in both contraband smuggling and illegal immigrant passage and the wall would be worthwhile. If it is only 90% effective? So much the better.
By this logic then a ban on guns would also be great because even if it's not 100% effective even being 50% effective is an improvement right? Wrong. Because the 50% that will be blocked are the 50% that are generally the most law abiding. The ones that get through will be those who are willing to go to the greatest lengths to break the law. A successful immigration policy would have the opposite effect. It would block the worst people and let in the best people. A wall is just blanket discrimination against an entire race of people. It will keep out the people we want in, and the **** heads we're trying to keep out will still get in. The drug dealers and other criminals have the money and resources to get around your dumb wall. The decent people who are just looking for work don't. If they did they wouldn't be trying to get here in the first place.
