If you mean totally, no. But to think that stopping one avenue is not a good thing says more about you and your analysis of your hopeless situation. But then again, maybe you are in a position to argue with the rancher from Cochise County who would beg to differ with you. By plugging one funnel, that means one less to have to worry about and increases the ability to focus on the next one until they all are gone.

To win at whack-a-mole you have to pick up the mallet and start whackin’.

“...but no walll will stop drugs from entering the country.”

Ok, let’s explore this further:

Do you have a fence around your yard, and/or do you lock the doors to your house & cars?

If so, do you really think these paltry efforts will stop folks from breaking & entering?

No? so why bother?

Will the wall stop drugs from entering the country?

No, but it will vastly increase the transportation costs. When you can get a mule to walk across the border with no guards, no fence and no one for miles and drop off a few kilos of heroin for $10,000 that cost escalates to $25-50k when you have to go to true smuggling methods. More risk > higher price.

Eventually the price rises and rises and this super cheap heroin that’s killing tens of thousands of Americans becomes not so cheap.

Believe it or not there is price sensitivity even among addicts.

it will turn the flow down and decrease the span of attention/control needed to target other avenues.
