Why do you believe the wall has to be built exactly on the borderline? We can have the wall 100 yards away from the geographical border. We just post it.

We don't have too abide by the false interpretation of the 14th Amendment that allows children born to non-citizens on American soil to be considered American citizens. Especially not on that 100 yards of American soil.

You need to give this some serious thought.

You're either ceding the land to Mexico, or you're creating the mother of all anchor baby nightmares.

Sorry. The wording of the 14th Amendment was very specific, and the Supreme Court does not agree with your interpretation.

I already have. You're either going to cede the land to Mexico, (which will in turn bring into question the Gadsden Purchase and the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo--and you do NOT want to do that), or you're going to have to write a Constitutional Amendment AND get 38 states to ratify it.
