I have yet to see any real evidence that a wall would be effective in our southern border. Most illegal immigration takes place in the form of overstayed green cards, and a wall is as easily breached as our current fence. That is unless you want some ridiculous 25 foot monstrosity that would cost trillions to maintain.... but that's not a reasonable expectation.
Meanwhile a monument to keeping brown people on the other side of the border would definitely help instill a cultural shift away from sympathies to immigrants.
You want evidence that a dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable without actually implementing the independent variable. Peak scientist form on display.
Now apply the "I have yet to see any real evidence that" to your bolded. Am i doing this right?

If the wall stops a single immigrant from being hired by a conservative I’ll give you a hundred bucks. You’re really fucking stupid if you think the purpose of the fence is to stop illegal immigration. I mean brain damaged fucking stupid.
A high enough wall would probably limit how easily people that are overweight, disabled, small kids, etc can cross. Again common sense, if you only had an iq above 80.
I'm not a proponent for the wall but walls have worked. The Great Wall of China, the Berlin Wall, etc. I don't expect the same effects but to expect that crossing rates would be higher or the same with some barrier is incredibly dumb.
