The Rio Grande river is the border between Texas and Mexico. Farmers and rancher both use the river for crops and livestock. Building a wall would cut off access to the river and that would make the folk that rely on the river very unhappy. I suppose the river could be partially rerouted if necessary. But a wall is really only needed in heavily populates areas. Sensors and drones can keep an eye on the rural wilderness areas.

When you weight the needs of the entire nation against a bunch of cow pokes the results are not even close. Get real. The wall is symbolic as well as functional.
