Yes you can shut down the southern border (barb-wire, armed patrols and a quick detection/response team system). It all depends on whether people are willing to go through with this or not. And the way things are going, U.S. citizens are going to start doing the shooting to get things done because they're fed up with the inaction of the federal and state governments on the issue.
I know several people who are more than willing to shoot any illegal they catch crossing their land, and I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't already killed a few.
And the only way that the mexicans will lose interest in coming north is for mexico to fix itself, and that really isn't our responsibility, it's the responsibility of the mexican people to do that.
