Will a wall truly help the US?

Why not ?

Every year we get over 200000+ illegal mexicans crossing the border while receiving a $10000+ deficit for each and everyone one of them in the process ...

The wall would likely pay for itself easily in 5 years and if not at the very least in 8 years ...

Immigration is a serious issue in the US and it's one of the reasons why Donald Trump is succeeding in the republican primaries ...

Because it would do nothing. People will just come a different way.  It will offend all resonable people of the world, bring back ties to WWII Germany, and damage the reputation of the USA around the globe, and with a Large Trading Partner, Mexico.

People crossing the border isn't the problem.  It's the companies that hire people illegally and get away with it that is the problem.  IMO those companies should be charges as violating the employees civil rights (Civil Rights in the USA cover all humans- regardless of where they are born or citizenship.)  And the business managers face crimial charges.

Thousand of business get away with it.  That is the reason people come.  The people aren't the problem, it's the business that exploit them and try to get around US law.

Funny, how some of Trump's own business have been caught, but he hasn't gotten into trouble because of corprate loopholes.
