Considering that most of the people entering the country do so via boat or plane or official road entry points, then a wall really won't do much. Total waste of money. Not to mention that border crossings and crime in border towns is actually a lot lower than anywhere else. Most crimes are commuted by Americans.

People entering the country are doing so to get away from baad situations, so they are less likely to commit crimes due to wanting a better life and not draw attention to themselves.
