You mean what we have to some extent be doing for over 40 years?Seems not to have worked very well thus far post 9/11 they upped the number of Border Patrol by large number that made things much more difficult but they just now use the much harder and more difficult to control routes to smuggle drugs in so long as there is a demand (for drugs and for people wishing to get into the US) the cartels will keep on going seeing as this is their source of income the drugs being the big deal the coyote work is a side deal and also clever way to draw our resources away from pursuing the ones smuggling drugs.
Anything we do now is just about too little too late the cartels already have infiltrated the US a wall will not stop the flow(look at Israel look at East Germany look at Ancient China they all have/had some form of extensive wall border control yet they fail/ed and two of those nations have borders many times smaller than the US ) it might lower it but not stop it they already make use of tunnel networks do ever watch the show Border Wars about the Border Patrol and INS on National Geographic channel? I saw on one episode they followed these two BP agents inside this tunnel that had been found in Arizona after they checked it out and measured its length to the Mexican border (so the concrete guys could fill it) one of the agents told the crew that tunnel filling is such a huge business that there are contractors that only do that type of work they find them every single day how many they do not discover is unknown many that are found are the ones reported by the Mexican police when they find them on the other side so we have to rely on those that are not very reliable to find many.
I do not think that the federal government wants to stop fighting the war on drugs any time soon as long as that war is on so will the war and activities of the cartels be active.
