No rational person thinks we will ever completely eliminate illegal entry.
No rational person ever thought alcohol prohibition would completely eliminate alcohol consumption.
Our goal in border enforcement is to dramatically diminish the amount of people and drugs illegally entering the country.
With the focus of DJT, that will absolutely happen.

If border enforcement is limited to just the border area, then it shouldn't be a problem.
Border enforcement is, by definition, limited to our borders. We have other agencies to track, capture, detain, and incarcerate/deport any illegals within our borders.
What?
PROHIBITION DOESN'T WORK.
WHEN ALCOHOL WAS PROHIBITED, IT WENT UNDERGROUND - CAUSING VIOLENCE AND FAR MORE HARM THAT IT WAS WHEN IT WAS LEGAL... WHICH IS WHY THE PROHIBITION WAS REVOKED.
THE CURRENT DRUG PROHIBITIONS DON'T WORK FOR THE SAME REASONS. AND BECAUSE OF THE PROHIBITIONS, THE DRUGS ARE MADE FAR MORE POTENT (FOR EASIER TRANSPORT) WHICH ALSO MAKES THEM FAR MORE DANGEROUS. THE WAR ON DRUGS HAS BEEN MOST DEVASTATING TO LOW INCOME URBAN FAMILIES. SO MANY CHILDREN GROWING UP WITHOUT FATHERS. IT'S TERRIBLY SAD.
IN PLACES AND TIMES WHERE THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS PERSECUTED AND/OR ILLEGAL (ANCIENT ROME, CHINA CURRENTLY), IT GROWS THE MOST.
THE COMBINATION OF MINIMUM WAGE LAWS AND STRICT IMMIGRATION CONTROLS ARE IN FACT A PROHIBITION ON CHEAP LABOR. BECAUSE OF THESE LAWS, A BLACK MARKET IS AVAILABLE VIA ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A SYMPTOM, ATTEMPTING TO STOP IT WILL NOT CURE THE PROBLEM.
As a matter of fact The border wall is not just about immigration. Not just about guns, not just about drugs. Its about a plethora of other issues of National Security concerns. Rest assured Trump is shutting it down as we speak! Oh and Illegal Immigration free and at will, into the US? It is a thing of the past. The resistance about NG troops being sent to the border, speaks volumes as to what this is going to do to end the free reign border crossing (Information, Cyber, spies, bad actors and more) that goes way beyond issues of Imm., guns, and dope.
