You and I both know that illegal immigration (like much of life) is driven in large part by incentives, which is to say that people generally choose the option that offers the greatest chance for the greatest benefit.
A wall, in addition to other modifications to policy and personnel, would likely be more valuable as a symbol of negative incentives than as an literal immigration-halting protective barrier.

What assumption, specifically.
Note that I didn't say the wall would be effective, just that it would be more effective as a disincentive than as an actual barrier.

Noted. As a barrier or a symbol it still is not the answer.

Probably not.
But the actual answer would be an immediate non-starter.

Let's hope those liberals and feminists out in California don't give them their own reality show.

Frankly it's sad to see how pathetic our elected officials are. Top to bottom. Very few exceptions.
