The Romans built a shitton of walls all over Europe. The implication for America is clear, there are two basic options:

1) Use the army to gruel in the desert erecting the wall. Force the soldiers to serve for thirty years with no leave so the building of the wall may be expedient.
2) Secure a steady supply of slave labour from a neighbouring nation. Transport the slaves into America to work for peanuts and erect the wall with no significant expenses to the treasury.

just get mexicans to build the whole thing, they already have construction skills.

And then what? You still have to register them somewhere, check them in, drive them back, etc. That's a shitload of bureaucracy a wall doesn't need.

use the ones you capture to build the wall.

Is there any advantage to building a deep trench over building a wall? It seems like it would have more or less the same drawbacks (you could go over it with the right tools) but it'd be a lot cheaper and easier to "build".

wall is impractical but a better gently caress off we're full visual message

For real world anti-mexican walls in places like the border close to Yuma they used 2 chainlink walls. Since it's the desert you also have a use a special floating foundation system due to lack of strong bedrock for a better foundation
