Just make a society like Aeon Flux and have guns stationed on the border that auto-kill anything that tries to pass

So I can get shot in the back and have some bony guy show up and fingerblast my spine-hole? No thanks Trump.

Except so fsr it has been effective, and has funneled illegal migrants into crossing a deadly desert wasteland, increasing the cost and risks of illegal entry

But where does that put us, on a moral scale, letting whole families die because they broke the law (in the hopes of a better tomorrow).

It would be like if those rfid scanners at the grocery store exit dropped you into a hatch where you starve to death, instead of just beeping.

Actually us border patrol runs intensive sweeps looking for people in distress or need of aid. They've saved thousands of people who were abandoned by their hhuman traffickers and lrft to die. The funnel effect of the walls mskes it easier to keep those areas under surveillance, while the desert serves mostly to slow them down so it's more likely they are spotted

Oh, then that's definitely fair then, I had no idea. OK, I withdraw my complaint.
