Since no immigration policy has yet even slowed the number of illegal immigrants (Beinart par. 1), the only way to resolve these economic issues is to stop illegal border crossings completely with a full-scale wall. A border wall is also the best option from a human worth perspective. Though critics have labeled a border wall as harsh and compared it to the Berlin Wall, it is actually the most humane way to deal with the problem since it prevents immigrants from seeking out less-patrolled dangerous areas to cross (Jeffrey pars. 9-13).
