A “wall” isn’t going to work - there are bulldozers and ladders in Mexico.
The biggest problem is the first sentence of Amendment XIV:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
That needs to be amended out of the Constitution.
Birthright citizenship may have been appropriate 150 years ago, but it creates millions of problems in the 21st Century - US children with illegal foreign parents.
What I suggest is:
The first sentence of Amendment XIV is hereby repealed.
Every child born in the USA after April 30, 2017 shall be born with the citizenship of their mother as of 10 months prior to giving birth.
No foreigner may be granted US citizenship unless the foreigner is over age 22 and has paid United States federal income tax in excess of the value of one ounce of gold on personal US earnings in each of the prior four years.
[That’s to make it impractical/impossible for Democrats to give a scofflaw mom or her newborn US citizenship.]
[Why use mom’s citizenship? Because we don’t want one male US citizen sperm daddy in search of easy money to create hundreds or even thousands of US children with foreign mothers.]
A “wall” isn’t going to work - there are bulldozers and ladders in Mexico.

And the use of such by Mexicans would be a clear casus belli... cause for war.
Walls *do* work when they're done right.The North Koreans and East Germans can confirm that.As for birthright citizenship you're correct.There was a time not that long ago when many Western nations had such a policy.But today all of them,except the US and Canada,have done away with it.
