“Apparently Trump has had the power to stop main immigration draw all along... but he apparently doesn’t have the will to do so”

The legal argument that has been made, is that binding International Treaty require the USA to accept and provide due process to asylum seekers. Treaties take legal precedence over legislation, and require larger majorities to pass.

"they just need to loop the end of a rope and toss that over"

...same as they would a concrete wall, with a grappling hook. Or more easily, with a ladder.

Mt.Everest is climbed every year by skilled people with ropes.

Bollards stop people as effectively as solid concrete (statistically), but provide greater observation and other benefits as well.

Bollard barriers are being enhanced with additional concertina obstacles, which greatly complicates a ladder/rope attack. Military deployments to the the border have been ordered at least through the end of this Fiscal Year (30 September), and they plan to emplace hundreds of miles of concertina.
