Your right about that. While the Feds have adjudicated their duties the state of Texas has had to step up and bring in state resources. Charging people with a misdemeanor trespassing charges as a last resort when the Border Patrol is hamstrung by politics. Why not build that wall?
Just ask Poland about the value of a wall.
Europe is finally realizing there is orderly migration on one hand and chaos by bandits on the other.
Really sad situation. Poor people deserve better.
To spend their life savings on human smuggling is a pity.

From the perspective of a poor person, the coyote is a far cheaper option, with a higher likelihood of success. Do you really think that a wall is going to stop people who travelled thousands of miles? It might slow them down a little, but a quick youtube search shows people getting past most styles of the border barriers in about a minute or less The CBP spends 18 billion dollars per year, which is up from 6 billion in 2003. This doesn’t look like a problem we can spend our way out of.

Economic migrants aren't citizens of the country they're targeting, and they deserve nothing from that country. In 2021, illegal aliens from 150 countries have entered the US via the Mexico border under Biden's Open Border policy. There's only about 200 recognized countries, so does that mean the US owes something to every person on earth?
