Is the wall worth the cost if it only keeps out immigrant refugees seeking a better life for their family? What if it barely puts a dent in cartel profits? I only say that because I believe only a small portion of drugs comes into this country via unsecured border land, i.e. on backpacks. It's not going to stop smuggling it in through legal border crossings where they hide it behind a fender, or disguise it inside a truckload of pineapples. Or when they fly it in via drone, or plane, or homemade trebuchet's. Or when they build submarines that barely go beneath the surface.
The bigger problem imo is the demand for serious drugs like meth, coke, heroin, etc. but we will only be able to face that problem when we acknowledge mental health is as serious as physical health. We're a long ways away from that.
